Another season at the Henderson Men’s Shelter is coming to a close this week. Hope House continues to operate on a year-round basis and serves up to seven men at a time.
All of this takes money for staffing, supplies, utilities, repairs and more. We hope we are coming closer to a permanent shelter location, but that will require money for facility upgrades and ongoing expenses.
One of the ways that we raise money is the Spring Fundraiser at 220 Seafood in Henderson, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The fundraiser will be held on Monday, April 29, 2019, from 4 to 7 p.m. at 220 Seafood. The meal consists of fried trout, french fries, hushpuppies and slaw. A drink is served for those who eat in the restaurant.
Tickets can be picked up at the office of First Baptist Church (11 a.m. – 2 p.m. MTWT) 205 West Winder Street in Henderson – enter driveway beside playground and use intercom button by the elevator – (252) 438-3172.
Additional plates can be purchased at the door – credit cards not accepted.
FUNDRAISER VOLUNTEERS
We also need lots of folks who are willing to greet, serve, pour drinks, bus tables and more. School or church groups are especially welcome. Food is served from 4 – 7 p.m., so we need volunteers to arrive between 3:30 and 3:45 p.m. if possible for training and/or duty assignments. We work hard, but we have fun – PLEASE JOIN US!
To volunteer, or with questions, please call Jane King at (252) 432-9494.
