Have you wondered what’s being done in Washington County to help homeless individuals and families?  Are you curious how many people are homeless in our community?  Are you concerned about the new City of Hagerstown ordinance prohibiting lodging outdoors in public places?  Join us for our September HARC meeting when members of the Washington County Homeless Coalition will speak to these questions and more. 

Speakers include:

• Jeannie Asbury, Executive Director, Reach of Washington County
• Tim Fisher, CEO, Community Action Council
• Kelli Black, Washington County Mental Health Authority

Join us for lunch and fellowship along with the presentation. Thank you to Reach for hosting and providing food (a free will offering basket will be out for donations toward the meal/Reach). RSVP requested by Friday, September 5 at noon so we can get a count for lunch and other activities.

Parking and access:  Reach is located in the back of the Aspiring To Serve building next to Christ’s Reformed Church. Access is from Wellers Alley (enter the alley from Prospect St. heading south or Jonathan St. heading north). Accessible parking is available here. Additional parking is available in the lot at Aspiring To Serve, accessed from Franklin Street just after the church, with a set of stairs in the rear which leads up to entrance of Reach. Enter through the main door facing the alley/lot and take the stairs or elevator one flight up to the 3rd floor.

HARC meetings are typically held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month for lunch, except July and August, with an occasional evening meeting.  The location typically rotates among different houses of faith, giving different congregations and organizations an opportunity to host.
