The Junior League of Greenville was with us again this morning cooking and serving breakfast to all the residents.  It is always a pleasure to come in first thing in the morning and find such a wonderful group of ladies volunteering their time and compassion to those in our community that are not as fortunate as many of us.  Thank you Junior League for your all that you do for our Center.  ...

Thank you to Coach Clemons, Coach Foreman, Cora Banks and the GNC Elite 9th-10th grade basketball team for their desire to help the homeless by helping out at CCC.  The grounds around CCC needed some spring trimming and clean-up, so we asked if the boys would be interested in helping to clean, weed, trim the grounds.   The response was a definite yes.  Imagine our surprise when they came with a pr...

Thank you Daniel, Jace,  and Paul (not pictured are Krystal, Dylan and Johanna) for working on a program to help make it easier to schedule volunteer opportunities online.  Here at the Shelter we can use a computer, but programming and software are not in our wheelhouse, so we are very grateful when those-in-the-know are willing to help out.  They are students of the ECU School of Business in Prof...
