Volunteer

Volunteer to serve at Project Homeless Connect, a twice-yearly outreach connecting the homeless with critical services in Mercer County. Come get involved! Greet our guests, serve them meals, distribute needed supplies, or get a group organized in advance to collect new clothing, socks and personal hygiene products to give away— always so needed!

If you're good at taxes, volunteer to be a tax preparer at one of our sites and help the working homeless receive the tax credits that they have earned. Make a difference to a low-wage earner!
