The City of Mesa, Neighborhood Services posted an article today featuring an opportunity to volunteer or donate items for the East Valley Homeless Project which will be held in Mesa.
The city is providing the service through Mesa’s Human Services Program partnering with a variety of 10 non-profit and government agencies making the project possible. Assistance with housing, medical, and identification to name a few.
Showers, haircuts, lunch! Volunteers and donations are needed to assist in various areas. New bath towels, socks, underwear, money donations for lunch - volunteers and guests, and backpacks are some items needed. Perhaps serving meals, assisting the homeless connect with agencies, or distributing clothing will be the place you want to help in making this a successful east valley resource opportunity!
The East Valley Homeless Project in Mesa on April 17th from 8 AM-3 PM at City of Grace Church - 655 E. University Drive.
