The city of Hinesville’s Community Development Department held its fourth annual Project Homeless Connect event Saturday at Bradwell Institute.The event, designed to be a “one-stop shop,” benefited homeless and at-risk residents by providing free haircuts, health screenings, toiletries, clothing, shoes, and information on housing, employment, financial literacy and adult education as well as other services designed to prevent homelessness. Booths were set up by service providers from the public and private sectors, such as the Liberty County Department of Family and Children Services, Liberty County School System social workers, Amerigroup, Diversity Health Center, Premier Counseling and United Way. Businesses and nonprofits, such as Air Serv, Guardians in Action and Life United Pentecostal, charged the atmosphere with face painting, books and a bouncy house for children.
