New Bedford Connect

New Bedford Connect is an annual event with a goal of connecting the homeless to services they might need now, and eventually a stable future.

The Homeless Service Providers Network and Rise Up for Homes are organizing the events.

A very special event for homeless people in the area.

Organizations and volunteers join forces on October 23 to aid the homeless in New Bedford.

The New Bedford Homeless Service Providers Network and Rise Up for Homes are hosting this event to reach out to the homeless community on the SouthCoast.

With all the controversy surrounding pan handling and the number of homeless people in New Bedford sometimes its easy forget that there's a human side to it. But one event made sure the homeless don't lose sight of the fact that people in the city still care for them.
