Truck for Homeward Bound

For more than a decade, Homeward Bound has been a significant mission partner with Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church.  Four times a year we host Room in the Inn, a program of Homeward Bound.  Through our leadership and financial gifts, Grace Covenant was instrumental in starting Hope to Home, a faith based support program for newly housed people. This fall we, at GCPC, again have the unique opportunity to help Homeward Bound with their mission. They are in need of a box truck in order to pick up furniture donations and to help move their clients into new housing.  

A group of donors has established a $7500.00 matching gift through Grace Covenant. That means our donations of an additional $7500.00 will be matched so that we can reach our goal of $15000.00, the amount needed to buy the truck. This is an amazing opportunity to invest in ending homelessness in Asheville and would dramatically increase the number of people that Homeward Bound can serve. 
Make checks out to GCPC with "Truck" in the memo line or go online next week and make a donation by credit card on the GCPC website.
