The 7th annual Vanderburgh Homeless Connect event is happening this Thursday, March 19th at the Old National Events Plaza in downtown Evansville. If you know someone who is homeless or near homeless, this awesome event for them!

Homeless Connect is a one-day event that provides a number of services for folks who are homeless or near homeless. The event continues to grow, and we hope even more people can benefit from the event this year.

Services provided include:

  • Employment and education
  • Financial
  • Government assistance
  • Veterans services
  • Health screenings
  • Housing
  • Legal and tax advice
  • Hospitality services - haircuts and foot care
  • Free lunch
