The Homeless Alliance for the Lower Shore (HALS) is conducting a Homeless Survey on Wednesday, Jan. 25th at various locations on the Lower Shore. Survey results provide critical data about those in our community facing or experiencing homelessness. This info helps direct resources and grant requests to meet local needs and bring more affordable housing to our area.
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to assist with administering the brief survey to our local homeless population. All materials and pre-survey training will be provided. Volunteers are requested to provide a minimum one hour commitment, if possible, but any available time will be appreciated!
Volunteers are needed for the following Wicomico locations:
- Joseph House (time slots available between 9:00 am - 12:30 pm)
- Lower Shore Friends (time slots available between 9:30 am - 12:30 pm)
- Salvation Army - Oak St. (time slots available 9:00 am - 3:00 pm)
- Wicomico Public Library (time slots available 10:00 am - 5:00 pm)
Volunteers will NOT engage homeless individuals outside of designated locations.

Training overview & additional info on the survey will be shared with volunteers.
