Surrey Connect Day
Friday, December 11th, 2009
As part of Homelessness Action Week 2009, the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Task Force held a Surrey Connect Day. This connect event brought together a broad range of services – from foot baths and haircuts to food service and housing information – to one location. This allowed people who are experiencing homelessness the opportunity to conveniently and directly access services. The day also provides an opportunity for volunteers to get involved and for agencies to collaborate.
