What is Metro East Weather Crisis Homeless Program?
The Metro East Weather Crisis Task Force was founded in May 2001 as a consortium of public/private agencies and programs that organizes and implements preventive, responsive, and follow-up measures to meet the needs of the Metropolitan East St. Louis area in times of weather related crisis. The program is also responsible for services to the homeless in the streets. Presently, the program is working in the downtown E. St. Louis, Illinois, area.
What Will the Volunteers Do?
Out in the streets of E. St. Louis:
Volunteers assist with preparing meals and hygiene kits. Volunteers will also participate with distributing meals, hygiene kits, blankets, and coats to the homeless throughout East St. Louis. Another aspect of the volunteer project is the social interaction with the homeless with greeting and time spent in conversation.
On the SIUE Campus:
The SIUE Homeless student group collect food and hygiene items for the homeless and have educational programs through the year.
The SIUE Homeless Program students have meetings each Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in SSC 1203. The meeting are open to all.
The group plans programs with the homeless and continuously collect for the street and sheltered homeless.
