The Coalition for the Homeless of Nassau County is accepting nominations

for the  "Annual Ele Colborn Volunteer of the Year Award." Ele was a long-time community activist and the founder of the Coalition. We think it is fitting to honor her memory with a yearly award to an outstanding Coalition volunteer who has worked during the year to further the goals of the organization.

*Guidelines for Nominations for the 2015 Ele Colborn Volunteer of the Year

Award*

- Made a significant contribution to addressing the needs of people

experiencing homelessness and those at risk of experiencing homelessness in

the county

*Members of the Board of Directors of the Coalition are not eligible for

this award.*

Please submit no more than 100 words explaining why you think the person
