Add community ambassador program under Multi- cultural events in the program daily activities not the services

Community Ambassador Program:  Once a week members as well as staff go out in the community and pass out packets of information (History of H.O.P.E Brochure, 12 Articles of Empowerment, Rules of the Center, and Mission Statement) to educate the community about the homeless/mentally ill population and reduce stigma.  In addition to passing out these packets of information we also keep the community clean by going around and cleaning empty lots and streets.  Plus we volunteer in any social events around the community.
