Volunteers Needed for Upcoming Cold Weather

As we look ahead to the forecasted weather,  we anticipate needing an increased number of volunteers to assist in Point-in-Time (PIT) Count efforts, along with additional overnight Crisis Cold Weather Shelter volunteers. Additional overnight shelter volunteers will likely be needed Saturday, Janurary 18th through Thursday, January 23rd.  Additional PIT Count volunteers will be needed to conduct surveys at the additional overflow Crisis Cold Weather Shelters the evening of Wednesday, January 22nd. If you are willing and able to assist with these efforts, please contact Emily Fessler (efessler@cpozarks.org). 

The annual HUD-mandated PIT Count is a crucial undertaking that impacts local HUD funding for homeless services and give us better data-driven insight into those we serve.
