Shelter News

I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you about our two homeless shelters in northeastern NC.

Union Mission of Roanoke Rapids -  Pray for Chad Reed as he works with the homeless men coming to the Mission for help.   Pray that God will use him daily as he teaches the men the Bible, works with them in counseling and goal setting.   Pray for the men that they will see the gift God has given each of them to use this time to know Him better.    

Union Mission is giving out an enormous amount of food these days.   In August the mission gave out over 1000 boxes of food to people coming by for assistance.   Our food supply is running low these days and donations of non-perishable food are needed.   The Mission will host their annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner again this year on November 23 from 11:00 AM- 4:00 PM.   They need donations of turkeys to provide enough food for 900 plates.  If you would like to volunteer or donate please call 252-537-3372.   

Faith House- Under the direction of Gloria Caudel seeks to help women and children who find themselves homeless.   Faith House is in need of facility repair and funds to help the women and children.   To find out how you can help please contact LaCount Anderson :  landerson@thefellowship.info  - 252 537-3372 ex. 28
