Winter is the most brutal time of year to be homeless; we're not even sure how many people are suffering through it. Help us find out.
On Wednesday, January 28th, volunteers and donations are needed for the Hudson County Point in Time Count. Homeless Count in Jersey City Wednesday, January 28at 9:00am - 10:00pm GSECDC 514 Newark Avenue, JC (Garden State Episcopal CDC) To volunteer: call GSECDC to sign up 201-604-2600 ext 203 Donate: Checks payable to- Jersey City Homelessness Advocacy Group or $5 gift cards to local fast food restaurants &/or supermkts - New blankets - New thermal underwear (men's & women's, all sizes up to XXXL) - New underwear (men's & women's, all sizes up to XXXL) also - Hats, gloves, & scarves (Winter)...new & gently used/cleaned - Coats & jackets (Winter)...new & gently used/cleaned This is an all day event that goes until late evening which is conducted by the Hudson County Division of Housing & Community Development as required by HUD. Volunteers are asked to contact GSECDC (Garden State Episcopal CDC), in advance to let them know you are volunteering, that is the organization that is coordinating the volunteers. The volunteer process begins by first signing up with the GSECDC. Based on what time of day you will be articipating, the amount of time you can dedicate and any experience in doing this, volunteers are grouped into teams, by matching those with experience with people who may be new to the Point in Time Count effort. Volunteers are briefed on the day of the event prior to going in the field. Hudson County Alliance to End Homeless is holding a meeting on January 21st, which can help give an overview of how the day will occur which all can attend. (See info below). The teams are then directed to areas and destination points to canvass for homeless individuals. Volunteers are given a series of questions that they use to collect information and bags of items to hand out. If you are volunteering, please contact the GSECDC in advance so they can coordinate teams by sending an email to: volunteer.gsecdc@gmail.com You can also call them at 201-604-2600 ext 203. Email is the preferred method of communication. Jersey City Homelessness Advocacy Group, JCHAG, is assisting in recruiting much needed volunteers and soliciting donated items that will be used to handout to individuals as they come in contact. Some suggested items for donations are listed on the flier. The Hudson County Alliance to End Homelessness (HCAEH) monthly mtg on Wed Jan 21st @ 2pm in the Hudson County Plaza Press Rm, 257 Cornelison, will focus on final planning for the upcoming Wed Jan 28th 2015 Hudson County Point-In-Time Count (PITC). It is suggested that all organizations interested in participating in the PITC try to attend. NOTE: As in the past, there will be a quick briefing the day of the Count, @ the distribution site, for volunteers unable to attend the HCAEH mtg. https://www.facebook.com/groups/151490268289661/ https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi ... 4120287271&type=1&theater https://www.facebook.com/events/153173 ... dashboard_filter=upcoming Drop off items:Garden State Episcopal CDC ...........................514 Newark Avenue ...........................Mon-Fri 9-5pm NJ Counts 2015 Point In Time Training Webinar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Sii9VScHo
