"Christmas for the Homeless" Coming to Morristown, NJ

Christmas comes early this year for the Homeless. POWER CHANGES LIVES INC presents LavaLove® "Christmas for the Homeless" Pop-Up Care Village (PUCV).

This special event will be held at the Morristown United Methodist Church in Morristown, NJ as a soft-launch for the LavaLove® mobile trailer's ribbon-cutting ceremony planned for January 2022. The 29' custom-designed trailer will provide a 3-unit shower, sink, toilet, washing machine, dryer, barber station and resource room for ancillary services (medical, dental and vision) for the unsheltered and sheltered homeless, making its debut in Morristown, NJ (Morris County), and rapidly expanding to Newark, NJ (Essex County), New York City, NY, Paterson, NJ (Passaic County), Trenton (Mercer County), and Atlantic City (Atlantic County).
Purposed on the foundation of restoring dignity and hope in the lives of homeless individuals who have been marginalized, forgotten, and unseen, LavaLove® connects with guests through a radical hospitality approach, ensuring that the needs of guests are met through active listening and understanding.

On December 11, 2021, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, LavaLove® invites community partners, the public, and our special guests – the homeless, to attend the Pop-Up Care Village (PUCV). All homeless guests will be provided a backpack containing hygiene kits, a hot shower, clothing, a hot meal – and lots of LavaLove®. To donate items for the PUCV, visit https://lavalovenj.com to view items in need or click here. Please ship all donations directly to the Morris Plains, NJ office prior to the event or bring with you at check-in.
Community partners are invited to sponsor tables at no cost, with supplies and resources for the homeless. Please reserve your table here.

The public is also invited to attend at no cost, bringing awareness and support of homelessness in New Jersey and strongly encouraged to volunteer.
Volunteers with technical-skilled professions as well as laypersons provide outstanding services to our guests, including but not limited to: greeters, intake workers, shower workers, shower prep, clothing distribution, physicians, dentists, medical students, optometrists, plumbers, electricians, general maintenance, barbers, social workers, and case managers. During the PUCV, homeless guests will receive on-site services (medical, dental, optometry and mental health screenings).

All who wish to attend this special day of giving, are required. Limited seating is available registering through Eventbrite: https://LavaLovePUCV.eventbrite.com by December 8, 2021 or when all reservations are full, whichever comes first.

** HOMELESS GUESTS DO NOT HAVE TO RSVP, WALK-INS WELCOME **

Dinner will be served to all guests. PLEASE BRING A WRAPPED GIFT FOR THE HOMELESS.
