How many people does it take to put together a one-day, one-stop shop event for 500+ individuals experiencing homelessness in Milwaukee? Add to that 300+ volunteers, 50+ service and resource vendors, over 80,000 donated items and transportation for guests? 

Bailey Murph and Krystina Kohler are part of the organization team for Project Homeless Connect, which will be held on October 20th, 2016, at Marquette Alumni Memorial Union. Representing United Way’s Health and Financial Stability Portfolios, Bailey and Krystina have been working with representatives from the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Continuum of Care, Marquette University, and countless donors and volunteers for months to ensure guests of this popular annual event experience a streamlined, respectful, and memorable experience.

Bailey and Krystina share what volunteers can expect from this experience, and what types of people would be ideal volunteers (hint…you would be great!) They also discuss the process of bringing all of these resources together in one place, as well as the broader issue of homelessness in Milwaukee that this event works to address.
