A Closer Look at Books
Dear PHC Supporters,
Life on the streets is hard for everyone. Housed and homeless alike often need a break from the stresses of daily life and a book can provide an escape to another world where we can be among friends, fight dragons, or be the President of the United States.
Project Homeless Connect is grateful to the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library who, since 2005, continue to donate a variety of books for each event. A book offers knowledge, adventure and humor, which is why the book table continues to be a popular and frequented space at each event.
In July we are hosting a special PHC focused on families and children. Books are an essential tool for building reading and life skills and can be the key to success. Please consider donating a new children's book to help enrich the lives of our youth. Below are the remaining event dates for 2012. We hope that you will support us and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.
2012 Dates
May 9 - Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
July 27 - Bayview Family Connect
October 17 - Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
December 5 - Bill Graham Civic Auditorium

Thank You: River Soap Company
A big thank you to the River Soap Company, who donated 7,500 bars of soap to Project Homeless Connect.Did you know that we give out toiletry kits to each participant at our events?
This donation is about a years supply of soap for our events. During this cold and flu season, toiletry donations are vital to the health of our participants.
The donations above are the result of a toiletry drive organized by a San Francisco student who encouraged her family and friends to support Project Homeless Connect. Donation drives like this remind us that people of all ages can make a real difference in the lives of San Francisco's homeless residents.We're still looking for toiletry donations for our July 27th Family Connect. This special event will focus on families and children and we will need 2,000 donations of baby lotions and shampoos.
Let us know if you're interested in supporting this project. Remember, you can always support our project buy donating online.
