Four Ways You Can Make a Difference for Homeless Families!
October Events at Alpha House – GIMME SHELTER Oct 16th
Alpha House is a shelter for families experiencing temporary homelessness. Homelessness in our community is on the rise, with over 150 families currently waiting for shelter.
To be part of the solution:
- Alpha House is expanding to a new location in Ypsilanti. You can help prepare the new shelter during October and November. Alpha House will share flexible tasks such as installing door locks, cleaning, and organizing. Sign up here
- UUAA regularly provides meals for homeless families at Alpha House. On October 3 from 4:30pm – 6:30pm, you can get an overview of the commercial kitchen at the Jackson Road shelter location in Ann Arbor, as you help our committee chair prepare a meal for 24 residents! Email AlphaHouse@uuaa.org for more information.
