The New Jersey Advocacy Network to End Homelessness’ mission is to advocate on a local, state and federal level for adequate funding and sound practices that will end homelessness. One of the most effective ways to do this is to participate in the Third Annual Congressional Reception in Washington DC. This year’s event is five weeks from today!

Thanks to Senator Menendez the Third Annual Congressional Reception has been scheduled for July 28, 2009 starting at 12:30 PM and ending at 3:30 PM. Please plan to arrive by noon.
