HIP Volunteers Courtney Martin and Ashley Kawashima stock the table of travel-sized hygiene products during Project Connect last week. 138 community members participated in the event. Of those, 19 reported currently experiencing homelessness in Petersburg and 23 reported experiencing homelessness at least once during the past three years. The volunteers at Project Connect distributed a lot of good resources to those who need them in the community. And through the donation drive HIP was able to stockpile some jackets and other outdoor gear, as well as more hygiene and cleaning supplies, to have available throughout the year. The remaining donations were transported by the US Coast Guard for distribution by Wrangell BRAVE, a volunteer group dedicated to building family resilience and preventing violence in Wrangell.
