BeLoved House: Ways to Serve


Grace Covenant has been contacted by the both our partners in homeless ministry and the city's office dealing with homelessness to ask our help with an alarming spike of homeless youth and young adults in Asheville, including a high number of LGBTQ youth.  Our city's homeless shelters are often unequipped and unable to accommodate these youth and young adults for a variety of reasons and, in response, our SERVE Council is working with the city of Asheville and BeLoved House to support these youth.  There are two ways you can get involved:

First, there is a list of items you can donate to the BeLoved House who provides shelter for these youth.  A list is on our website, or in the information station in the narthex. [ http://www.gcpcusa.org/#/calendar-current-events/serve ]

Second, there is a need for a team of adults to be in relationship with the 18-24 year old homeless youth. If you are interesting in learning more, please contact SERVE Council member Leah Madamba (leahmadamba@hotmail.com), who is coordinating this part of our response.
