January 29th: UNITED WAY Point In
Time Count of Homeless: Volunteers needed
for homeless count people in our state. The count takes
place Tuesday, Jan. 29, from 5:30 to 11 p.m. Information
from the count will enable us to gauge the extent of
homelessness, determine the services needed to end it, and
help leverage federal funding to support those services.
The
Middlesex County contingent will meet at the
YMCA, 99 Union St., Middletown. The evening will begin with
orientation and brief training, and volunteers will be
assigned to designated areas to located unsheltered people
and conduct the survey. To sign up, contact Lisa Callahan at
