This month, we focused on keeping our volunteers AND our unhoused neighbors safe. Joshua and Bri led a thoughtful and practical training on safety and security, equipping our teams to be more aware, prepared, and responsive during events and outreach.
Whether you were there or not, we encourage everyone to check out the slides from the training:
