January 28, 2025Homeless, At-risk of being houseless, and those in need invited
South Peninsula Hospital is working with other local agencies to offer Community Resource Connect, a free, one-day event on Tuesday, January 28th, to provide assistance to those who are homeless, at risk of being houseless, or for those in need of extra support for their daily living situation.
Community Resource Connect offers a one-stop shop for individuals to gather resources, get connected with assistance, and collect necessary supplies. Winter gear, comfort packs, back packs, food to go, clothing, sleeping bags and personal hygiene kits are but a few of the free supplies to be offered. Over 20 vendors will offer resources related to food, employment, healthcare, mental health, health screenings, enrollment in to local services and more.
This one-day event happens on Tuesday, January 28th from 11AM-3PM in two locations on the Southern Kenai Peninsula: the SPARC at 600 Sterling Highway in Homer, and in Anchor Point at the VFW at 72551 Milo Fritz Ave. A point in time homeless count and data collection will happen at these events, as part of a nationwide point-in-time homeless count.
Free transportation is offered to and from both locations. In Homer call (907) 235- 0285; in Anchor Point call (907) 756-3321. This event is open to the public and anyone in need of extra support is welcome to attend.
This annual event is sponsored by a group of local, non-profit agencies with help from concerned citizens, and happens in conjunction with the Kenai Peninsula Project Homeless Connect. Last year’s event served over 140 people in need. Photos attached. More information can be found on the public facebook event page, Community Resource Connect. Information on volunteering or donating to help cover costs can be found on the hospital’s website: www.sphosp.org or by emailing wellness@sphosp.org.
