Meeting 10/28


Big brother chapter to UCCS. 
We have been given the opportunity to be a "big brother" chapter for UCCS. December 1st they will be holding an initiation ceremony and as a big brother chapter, we will need at least 10 people to attend. We have decided that December 1st will work best with our schedule, so if you are interested in attending in the springs please keep this date in your calendar.

APO shares
We will be voting for APO shares next week. We need enough members to be at meeting in order to vote so please BE AT MEETING!! 
If you are interested in volunteering with Homeless Gear, please let Ryan Brenner know. 
Distribution Events
We invite anyone who is interested to come and help us distribute gear and other critical items at one of our two monthly distribution events. 

Homeless Families and Children Distribution: This event runs from 9 AM to 12 noon at the Murphy Center of Hope located at 242 Conifer Street in Fort Collins on December 8. 
Since we serve as many as 400+ homeless and near homeless children and their families at this event we need volunteers to sign up for “shifts” (8:30 AM to 10:00 AM, 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon and clean up from 12:00 to 1:00).  This will enable us to plan appropriately and also make the volunteer experience as meaningful as possible for you.  Of course you can work multiple shifts if you would like.  Please know that you can still just drop in if you didn’t get a chance to sign up.  We will never turn away volunteers.

Homeless Adult Distribution:  This event is held on November 15 from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM at the Murphy Center For Hope located at 242 Conifer Street in Fort Collins (corner of Conifer and Blue Spruce). 

Sam’s Club Collection
Homeless Gear is looking for volunteers to help at our monthly Sam’s Club BBQ and Collection Event.  Events are held on Saturday November 3 and December 1.  We need volunteers to help cook, handle food, collect money, handout flyers and thank donors.  There are two shifts:  10:30 am – 1:30 pm and 1:30 – 4:30 pm.
Sorting
Homeless Gear is looking for volunteers to help sort its donations of outdoor gear, clothing, household items, hygiene supplies and first aid items at the Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope in Fort Collins, Colorado. Come once and/or sign up for a regular shift! All ages accepted. Large groups welcome!
Outreach Team:
Homeless Gear is looking for volunteers to join its Street Outreach Team! As a member of the Street Outreach Team, you and a partner will go out in the evening to deliver clothing, food, and other emergency gear to the homeless population in Fort Collins, provide homeless men, women and children with information about and access to resources in the community, and form lasting and meaningful relationships with your less-fortunate neighbors. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve your community, interact with and offer companionship to homeless men and women, and provide basic - and potentially life-saving supplies to those who need them most. Volunteers must be 18+ and commit to at least one shift per month, approximately 3.5 hours per shift.
You can have people email me with dates if they didn't get a chance to sign up (sitkarush@gmail.com).
