Helping the Homeless in Our Community Event Rescheduled - January 24, 2011

We were saddened to have to cancel this event on October 25 and promised we'd reschedule as soon as possible. We are now confirmed for January 24 at 7pm at the Santa Teresa Branch Library. Please note, the venue is changed.

Reminders will go out once the event gets closer. The event topic and speaker have not changed:

Santa Clara County is the 19th wealthiest county in America. The median household income is more than $87,000, but it is estimated that 135,000 of our neighbors live in poverty and more than 12,000 are homeless every year. Ever wonder how to help someone who is without resources? As winter approaches, what can we do to help? Does it help to give money to people on the street? Julia Burkhead, Program Director for Women and Family Services at InnVision, will update us on resources and services available in our community and share her insight on the best ways we can contribute to helping people. This event is free and open to the public.

Date: Monday, January 24

Time: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Place: Santa Teresa Branch Library (290 International Circle, San Jose 95119)
