Greensboro Uranban Ministry's WE! program was covered on NEWS2.  Check us out on Youtube!

We opened our Women's Emergancy (WE!) Shelter on December 1st.  Last year because of your generosity, time and prayers we were able to provide food, shelter, clothing, and Christ's message to many women in Greensboro!  As we prepare for cold weather we hope that you will once again provide our ladies with the bare necessities listed below:

Physical Needs - toiletries (soap, lotions, deodorant, toothpaste, tooth brushes, hair brushes, sanitary napkins), new fitted twin sheet sets, new flannel pajamas (sizes M-XXXXL), new underwear in packs of    3-6 (sizes M-XXXXL).-Physical Needs Coordinator: Meredith Chandler

There will be a green bin by the office at Grace for you to drop off your contributions.

Hospitality -  hospitality volunteers are needed to provide fellowship and encouragement for our guests.  Volunteers will welcome guests at check-in, keep snacks and reading materials stocked in the living 
area, and spend time visiting with ladies so that they may connect with the church and one another.  Volunteers will also plan special activities, such as movies, games and worship.-Hospitality Coordinatio:  Melanie McKinney

Overnight volunteers - one male and one female volunteer are needed nightly for the shelter to assist the paid staff on duty.  Couples or families volunteered last year which was a real blessing for everyone!  Overnight coordinator: Carol Reed

Food - we will be providing breakfasts, dinners and snacks again this year. for our ladies.  Since there is no capacity to cook in the Eagle's Nest, dinners need to arrive ready to serve, and breakfasts will be bagged to be consumed during the day.-Food Coordinator:  Joan Ficca

Please Check out our WE! Calendar to see what dates and times are available.
