Homeless people are invited to be counted and to receive free clothing and food on Jan. 26 at the Wenatchee Community Center, 504 S. Chelan Ave.

The event, scheduled from 3 to 5 p.m., is the annual National Point-In-Time Homeless Count and Community Resource Fair. The event aims to help homeless people in Chelan and Douglas counties and is sponsored by the Women’s Resource Center of North Central Washington.

People who attend will be asked to take a survey. They can also receive clothes, food and hygiene items. Other organizations that help the homeless will be on hand to explain their services. Officials with agencies wanting to participate should contact Tanya Bradford, volunteer and special programs coordinator for the Women’s Resource Center, at 662-0121 by Jan. 23.
