Soon the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center in Wasilla will open its doors to house the annual Mat-Su Project Homeless Connect: a one-day, one-stop resource event designed to provide basic services for those experiencing homelessness in the community.
WASILLA, Alaska - In a little over two weeks the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center in Wasilla will open its doors to house the annual Mat-Su Project Homeless Connect: a one-day, one-stop resource event designed to provide basic services for the city’s homeless population. The event provides services such as dental screenings, haircuts, employment assistance, clothing, food, toiletries, and more.
“A lot of times the services are all spread out across the city and it’s hard for people to get from one end to the other to get the services that they need. So the idea was to bring all of those services together in one spot,” said Ginger Bear, executive director of Family Promise Mat-Su and co-chair for Project Homeless Connect.In Wasilla, Project Homeless Connect will take place on Wednesday, Jan.
Project Homeless Connect was unable to take place at the Menard Sports Center in 2020 due to COVID-19 and was a smaller, non-collective event in 2021 because of the ongoing pandemic.
“When you go camping in the winter, what do you need everyday,” said Bear. “That’s a good way to think of it.”
