Bayview Family Connect! July 27th

VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

In preparation for Family Connect, we have been partnering with our amazing Bayview providers and collaborators in innovative ways! It is our desire to connect all participants to accessible local resources that can help take them one step closer to their goals.

We’re partnering with the Bayview Hunters Point Mobilization for Adolescent Growth in Our Communities (Bmagic) to help provide backpacks and school supplies for the 2,200 homeless children in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and the low-income residents of the Bayview. Families who sign up at PHC45 will be able to pick up their backpacks at a special event at Bmagic in August. Families who were unable to get school immunizations or learn how to enroll their kids in school at PHC45, will also have second opportunity to do so at the follow-up event in August. BMAGIC can also provide school uniforms for families who many times have to choose between groceries or school items. We love our collaborators!

Some new partnerships will help PHC45 respond to the high childhood obesity rate in the Bayview. Long-time partners, Cal-Fresh and the Food Bank will be at our event to sign people up for food stamps and to provide free groceries. New partners, including the SEFA Food Guardians and Leah’s Pantry will teach participants how to find fresh local foods and cook healthy meals from the ingredients the food pantry is distributing at our event.

A first at Project Homeless Connect events, PHC45 will have fun and educational classes taught throughout the day that encourage healthier lives and diets. Primarily taught by Bayview residents and organizations, participants will not only learn, but be able to enjoy local arts and culture. One of our newest providers, the Whitney Young Child Development Center’s Dance Troop will perform and encourage participants to get involved with their program.

In order to fulfill the emergent needs of participants and encourage them to connect to the services that will help them make long-term changes, participants will receive incentives for participating in educational opportunities and signing up for support services. For example, bags with books, toys, blankets and diapers (donated by Project Nigh Night, Help a Mother Out and Earth Baby), will be given to families who complete the fifteen minute intake process with the Homeless Prenatal Program (HPP). Participants who may come because they need diapers the day of the event, will learn were they can get support to have diapers as long as their baby needs them. Participants who just wanted free toys for their kids, may learn that HPP also provides job training, parenting classes, case management, addiction recovery, domestic violence support, computer classes, housing and furniture.

PHC45 is a one day event, but our goal is to help participants get connected to resources that can change their life. On top of all the great partnerships listed above, we will also have more women’s medical services than we have ever been able to offer.

We encourage you to contact us and let us know if you would like to help in anyway to make PHC45 a success. Your support of our work makes it possible!

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?
