Abstract
On October 14, 2015, Wood County, Ohio held its third Project Connect (PC) event at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Bowling Green, Ohio. Project Connect is designed to provide immediate goods and services to homeless individuals and those nearing homelessness. PC provides basic needs and critical services in one day at one location. Along with providing valuable and necessary services to help alleviate homelessness, an additional positive outcome for service providers is the opportunity to network with different agency members, and reinforce relationships, collaborations, and partnerships. This report presents the descriptives about the guests, providers, and volunteers at the event, as well as their feedback.
