From the Directors Desk:

Because of the declining economy, the Christian Help Center has become a vital part of the heart of Person County.  In the midst of the present recession, our churches, civic groups, businesses and individuals of this county continue to be committed to providing food, clothes, and funds to help our  brothers and sisters who are in emergency need due to layoffs, disabilities, shutdowns, or other income losses.  As Director of the Center, I personally say “thank you” to our many  generous financial supporters, food and clothes donors,  and to the dedicated volunteers who serve daily in the clothes closet, food pantry, and soup kitchen.

 Numbers for those needing help seem to increase weekly. In order to help more families in a small way, the Board of the Christian Help Center has placed caps and stricter frequency limits on financial support.   We are able to help with food and clothes only once per month and with utility assistance or rent only once per year.

 If your church or group would like to learn more about the services of the Christian Help Center,  one of our staff members, a  board member,  or the director  will gladly come and share this information with you.  Just call the Center at (336) 599-6070 and extend the invitation.

 The employees of the Christian Help Center are dedicated to being good stewards over the funds and other items received.  Please continue to donate non-perishable foods, seasonal clothes, toiletries, household items, and funds.  View our WEB page quarterly for updates.  We do not know what the future holds, but we do know who holds the future.   We are looking forward to a warm and prosperous spring.  God’s blessings to you.  

 Mary Stanfield, Director
