What is the Homeless Action Committee?
HAC seeks to end homelessness in Albany by focusing on its root causes, and providing services to people who are homeless. HAC operates an Outreach Van program which provides basic aid- food, clothes, blankets, human compassion, and transportation for persons who live on the streets. We also operate permanent housing which provides a home to homeless people with alcoholism who had been living on the streets for years and who have been unable to stay sober.
SLEEP-A-THON REGISTRATION, PROCEDURES, & INFO
1. Participants in the Sleep-a-thon agree to spend at least 1 hour in the park. We hope you will sign up for additional hours or the whole night.
2. The Sleep-a-thon will be held from 7:00 pm to 2:00 am. It will be held in Townsend Park (corner of Henry Johnson Blvd. & Central Ave., Albany).
3. HAC has a goal of raising $20,000 with this event which will benefit HAC’s permanent housing project and HAC’s Outreach Van. Each participant should aspire to collect at least $100.00, which will help us meet our goal. HAC is experiencing over $60,000 in budget cuts in 2012 and needs to raise a record amount from this event!
4. Bring your pledge form and any pre-paid pledges to the Sleep-a-thon. When you first arrive, go to the Social Justice Center- 33 Central Ave (across from park) to register.
HELP KEEP HAC’S HOUSING & HOMELESS PROGRAMS ALIVE!
