As part of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, Project Connect will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 21 at Hope Church, 1601 17th Ave. S. in the Grand Cities Mall in Grand Forks.
Project Connect is a one-stop-shop for anyone who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless or in need. The event will connect them with over 30 local service providers and agencies who will be providing warm weather clothing, toiletries and quilts, as well as a free hot meal. The VA will also be present to assist area veterans.
Free bus tickets will be available the day of the event at Northlands Rescue Mission and the Northeast Human Service Center. Those interested can also arrange a free senior rider or dial-a-ride by calling at least one day in advance at (701) 795-9143.
