Morris County Holds Second Annual Project Homeless Connect!
On Thursday, December 6, 2007 Morris County held its second annual Project Homeless Connect Event. A small group individuals gathered at the Morristown Green at 9am to participate in the kick off to the Project Homeless Connect Event. The crowd was serenaded by Kevin So, a singer/song-writer, on the cold winter morning as a warm-up to the impressive list of speakers who came to provide their support for Project Homeless Connect.
Joann Bjornson, Executive Director of Interfaith Council for Homeless Families of Morris County, coordinated the County Project Homeless Connect event and welcomed all participants to the kick off. She reminded the crowd that while they were all freezing for about half and hour or so through the kick off, there were people who slept out on the Morristown Green overnight. She explained Project Homeless Connect is a way of bringing together service providers, community members and homeless individuals to connect them to much needed services and raise awareness about homelessness in Morris County.
