Dear PHC Supporter,
The first time I met Phil, one of Project Homeless Connect's long-time volunteers, he gave me his card which read:
"Dreamer ... and why not?"
I flipped it over and read: "Really ... why not?" I keep Phil's card on my computer where I can see it to remind myself of its message.
Project Homeless Connect began as a dream. The community and its leadership were moved by the needs of so many that, just like Phil, they thought: "Really ... why not?"
Project Homeless Connect continues to dream big. We dream of a day when no person will sleep on the street, a day when no senior citizen goes without food or a safe place to call home. To make this dream a reality we depend on new partnerships with city agencies, business and nonprofits and relationships with dedicated volunteers. We are constantly developing new strategies to ensure we meet needs now and in the future.
I believe these dreams can come true. Will you dream with us? Let's mobilize resources by using social media. We invite you to "like" us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @PHCSF. We are sharing our #PHCdailyneed for resources to support homeless individuals and the good things PHC and our amazing volunteers are doing. You can also let us know your dreams and ideas on how to respond to homelessness in San Francisco.
Below are the results from our May 9th event. After compiling all of our numbers, our official total is 1,745 participants served! Working together we helped these individuals improve their health, look for a job, connect with loved ones, and fulfill a bit of their dreams.
Let's keep dreaming, because really ... why not?
