At a time when the world feels chaotic,
you can make a difference through Connections.
Not only do volunteers play a crucial role in the lives of participants—they also help stretch every dollar we receive from generous donors. At a time when vital programs are being slashed, our volunteers and donors sustain our mission of ending homelessness, one person at a time.
