On Friday, January 27, volunteers will be walking the streets of Federal Way to count the city's homeless.

In conjunction with the Seattle/King County Coalition for the Homeless One Night Count, Federal Way will conduct a street count from 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.

Community members are needed to help in this effort. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.

"It is our hope that this count will create a baseline to help us better assess and meet the needs of the homeless in our city," said Community Development Director Kathy McClung. For more information or to volunteer, contact Kelli O'Donnell at (253) 835-2653 or kelli.odonnell@cityoffederalway.com.
