WOOD RIVER - Unhoused community members and local nonprofits are invited to engage with one another at Project Homeless Connect. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, at Riverbend Family Ministries in Wood River, approximately 30 nonprofit organizations will be available to answer questions, connect people with resources and provide services for individuals experiencing homelessness.

But this is a chance to try and get together in one place.”
