Homeless Awareness and Prevention Day 2011

Project 33 was on hand at this year's "Homeless Awareness and Prevention Day", giving away children's clothing and shoes from our Kid's Clothing Closet.  "Homeless Awareness and Prevention Day" is put on each year by Faces of Grace Outreach Ministries at Paradise Park in Sparks.  This event reaches out to the homeless and the poor in our communities by bringing together community assistance programs, businesses, churches, and the community at large in an effort to educate those who are homeless or on the verge of becoming homeless about the resources that are available to them.

We set up some of our clothing on racks and some were laid out in bins.   Those who needed clothing for their children were able to pick out whatever they wanted. A free Rummage Sale!  We also had a huge selection of children's books to give out.

The event is in full swing!

Children loved the Kids Zone area, complete with face painting, bouncy houses, and other fun activities.

Thank you so much to all our volunteers for your hard work and commitment.  And thanks to "Just Between Friends" for the huge clothing donation you gave us at your last event!  It went to those who needed it the most!
