Home Is Where Your Heart Is
Milwaukee County’s Project Homeless Connect is a one-day annual event where homeless people can come to access multiple services and resources they need, all in one day. United Way is excited to support this event which connects them to housing, employment, clothing, and health and dental screenings all under one roof.
We need hundreds of volunteers like YOU for this meaningful event! Join us for a morning or afternoon session (or both!). Want to know more?
