Welcome
to the United Outreach of El Dorado County Website (UO). We are a group
of volunteers dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable shelter to
house the homeless of El Dorado County. After three years of successful
operation, and with a continual increase in our homeless population, we
no longer have a building to offer shelter to those without a place to
live. However, we are in the process of identifying an appropriate
property and developing a program that will provide a larger and more
comprehensive homeless shelter in the near future. This new "continuum
of care" program will provide case management for those who wish to
work their way out of homelessness and back into the mainstream of
society. El Dorado County has committed to supplying the professionals
needed to help us accomplish this training and support. We look forward
to the opening of our new facility here in our County, and encourage you
to come and visit us when it is complete. Providing a comfortable shelter is our immediate goal. Our program associated with this goal is designed to help clients secure jobs, training, medical assistance and permanent housing; and ultimately, to help them become contributing members of society. We are not permanently funded by any government entity, although various county agencies have provided supplemental support as budgets allow. United Outreach receives most of its funding from concerned citizens, contributing churches and generous corporations. In addition, although we will employ a paid staff of trained professionals when we move into our new facility, we will always rely on community volunteers to supplement and support our staff in preparing food and providing comfort for our clients. Would you be willing to help? To contact us, our address is: United Outreach P.O. Box 1675 Diamond Springs, CA 95619 Art Edwards, President United Outreach of El Dorado County |
