Associated Ministries and WorkForce Central are partnering with City of Fife to bring a joint event offering access to life-changing resources and services that meet crucial needs for those who are unhoused, with the ultimate goal of supporting individuals into stable housing and employment opportunities.

The Project Homeless Connect and Collaboration for a Cause joint event will operate between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm on Friday, June 24, at Fife Community Center, 2111 54th Ave E, Fife, WA 98424.

For people without stable housing, accessing simple necessities can take months and require multiple trips to locations throughout the area. Both Project Homeless Connect and Collaboration for a Cause events connect people to services and resources directly on-site which saves them time, travel costs and gives agencies the opportunity to interact directly with the unhoused. Over 50 service provider agencies will be on site, along with over 100 community volunteers.

In addition to housing assistance, 30 employers will be conducting onsite interviews for entry-level jobs. The event will also provide medical services, dental care, veterans’ services and benefits, career training information, free lunches, haircuts, showers and laundry services, giveaways, children’s activities and more.
