Who/what is Plymouth Taskforce for the Homeless?

The Plymouth Taskforce for the Homeless began in October 2004 with a small group setting up an "Overnights of Hospitality" program, based on similar programs successful on Cape Cod and across the country. Starting with the function rooms of four congregations, homeless men were provided with a hot meal and a clean bed every night, October through April.
Along the way, a five-bedroom residence — the "Next Step House" — was established for homeless sober men; Taskforce allies include Plymouth County Housing Alliance and Mainspring/Father Bill's Place.
The "Overnights" program requires very little cash since 200+ volunteers provide the hot meals, do the laundry, serve as overnight hosts and provide transportation. The weekly rotation of function rooms now includes seven congregations: Christ Episcopal Parish, Beth Jacob Synagogue, First Parish Unitarian, St. Mary Catholic Church, Zion Lutheran, Church of the Pilgrimage UCC, and First Baptist Church; volunteers also represent Second Church Congregational of Manomet, New Testament Church, Holy Family Church of Duxbury, St. Peter Parish, the Rotaract Club of Plymouth South High School and members of other civic groups.
