13 students from WMS volunteered to help at Project Homeless Connect, an event hosted by the United Way of Mat-Su. The event consists of vendors from around the valley that provide services and supplies to the homeless community, including food, clothing, employment resources, health screenings, feminine products, haircuts, and blankets. Students spent time escorting clients to specific booths, carried heavy loads for clients, answering questions, and any other assistance that either the clients or vendors needed. Additionally, the students took their time to bring back clothing and medical supplies that can benefit their classmates here at WMS. We are extremely proud of their willingness to help others in need.
