A Surry County non-profit organization that dreamed of building a new emergency shelter to help an increasing homeless population has received a boost of support from the member-funded SECU Foundation.
A check representing a $500,000 challenge grant was presented to The Shepherd’s House (TSH) by SECU Foundation Executive Director Jama Campbell during a special event held last week in Mount Airy. The grant will assist the capital campaign of TSH for the construction of a 10,000 square foot facility that will provide community space and emergency housing for up to 48 individuals per night.
