Update: Outreach 02/09/2024

Hello everyone, we wanted to again keep you updated as to what BHWC VR is currently up to. We have decided to do a mobile outreach. Here we will be driving around the Reading and Pottstown Pa. area and finding individuals in need.

This will take place on Sunday, February 11th. We will be looking for not just individuals on the street asking for money, but also looking for encampments in the area. Through relationships, we were able to get some locations from the local Reading Police as to where the encampments are located.

As like before we will be donating clothing, food, and medical supplies. During this week our outreach supervisor Michelle Deavitt visited one of the encampments to find out what was exactly needed. With that said, it was mentioned to her they could use pots, pans and water. Please keep in mind, this camp in specific is a sober camp with one of the individuals being a Veteran.

Again, we want to thank everyone for their donations as it is appreciated, but more importantly appreciated by them.

Please reminder to check in on updates periodically as we are continuing our work to help our fellow human beings. Also, be on the look out for event dates as we are currently working on fundraising events taking place some time in Spring/Summer.

We are also looking to interview anyone who wishes to speak to us and share their stories. We feel it does help in their efforts to regain their peace of mind.

Thank you
