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.
