The operation of the Shelter depends on Volunteers and ECU is very well represented at the Shelter by so many students that want to come and give their time providing service.  The effort of Volunteers at the Shelter is priceless!  We could never put a price-tag on it and, thank goodness, we don't have to. Last week we had students from the ECU School of Dental Medicine (first picture) and the ...

We would like to thank Chuck Wadley and Jan Horne of AGAPE Outreach Ministries for conducting Bible Study sessions at the shelter.  They have been coming on Thursday and Friday evenings for about 8 months.  What a blessing for our residents.
