"Before The Way Home, I didn't know how to help people who are homeless in Helena. It was easier to look away. But volunteering for the Way Home, I helped reach 139 people who were homeless in our town...in just one day." - a Way Home 2007 Volunteer
The Way Home means...
- More than 20 helping agencies together in a one-stop setting
- Homemade meals, prepared by the Moms' Clubs of Helena
- Haircuts, showers and hygiene kits
- Live music and entertainment
- Nurses and/or a doctor on-site
- Giveaways (including warm-weather gear, blankets and food)
- A chance to get back on your feet
- An opportunity to meet the neighbors who care
