LINK of Hampton Roads helps reduce homelessness in the Hampton Roads area. One of their missions dear to my heart is care for the homeless. Since there is no permanent homeless shelter on the Peninsula - they coordinate the efforts of approximately 80 churches to provide shelter and two warm meals for over 100 homeless each evening during the cold months.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
so many ways. I have worked with this organization for 4 years. I have seen the homeless receive shelter, food, job referrals, clothes and tools that were needed to work at a new job, bus tickets to get to a job interview, annual flu shots. There are so many great things going on.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
like for them to receive more in grants and donations so that they could do even more good.
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & I coordinate the efforts for one week of the winter season homeless shelter.
