Join GMC staff and other volunteers in canvassing the Georgetown area for homeless individuals. The aim is to collect a count of how many people are on the street in our area, and we also try and complete a questionnaire for every person we meet on the street.

Why do we gather this information? The information will be used to help determine the need for supportive services in the District. It will also help us learn how homeless assistance organizations can better assist people on the street.
