Dear Community Partners:

Women's Rights Information Center is supporting Bergen County's 14th Annual Project Homeless Connect (PHC) - Point-in-Time (PIT), and our collective community help is needed! Many of us agree that Bergen County is a wonderful community in which to work and live, and many of us care about our neighbors who are homeless, especially during difficult winter weather. The PHC-PIT Bergen County effort is critical to assisting our most vulnerable homeless citizens.

The singular date for this event is on Wednesday, January 22, 2020, and on this one-day, information, services, assistance, and hospitality are provided for people experiencing homelessness. These services and information are held in a convenient one-stop location at:

Bergen County Housing, Health and Human Services Center 120 South River Street Hackensack, NJ.

In January of 2019, over 30 agencies and generous donors, as well as over 100 volunteers assisted hundreds of our most at risk, displaced neighbors. It is our genuine hope that we can exceed our reach in January 2020.

YOU CAN HELP BY DONATING:

? Restaurant chain gift cards in $5.00 increments

? $10 gift cards from Target (or shelter local stores)

? Phone cards ? Various Travel size toiletries ? Razors, Shavers, Deodorants ? Personal care and feminine hygiene products ? Non-perishable food
