Project Homeless Connect, a one day event, held Friday, January 29th at the Billings Parmly Library was attended by more than 600 individuals, many of them homeless or near-homeless people.

The Montana Rescue Mission was present with a booth, manned by Patti Yonts, Community Relations Coordinator, Gary Drake, Executive Director, Betsy Campen, Board member, and other employees and volunteers on a rotating schedule.

MRM had more than 255 visitors to their booth where they gave out brochures and other literature, as well as over 400 items of new winter clothing, including gloves, hats and socks.   Staff was available to answer questions and lend support to those visiting MRM's booth.  Patti noted how grateful people were to have warm clothing to wear.
