More than 550 receive help!
The Mercer County Alliance to End Homelessness hosted a summer time Project Homeless Connect on Thursday, July 10, 2008. This outdoor event enabled Mercer County citizens to receive vital information on housing support services. It also provided those in attendance with shoes, clothing, books, toys, haircuts, medical assistance, and legal advice, which were all donated by state-wide supporters. Volunteers conducted Point In Time interviews with those in attendance - the second set of Point In Time interviews to be conducted in Mercer County this year.

This PHC was held near the Rescue Mission building on Ewing Street, in Trenton. Over five hundred fifty citizens attended the event throughout the day and it was a great success.
These are some of the fourteen (14) photos from the Mercer County Project Homeless Connect held on July 10, 2008.
