With this project we are linking arms with the First United Methodist Church Volunteer Organization, the St. Vincent de Paul (Catholic) Organization, as well as the Cherokee County Ministerial Association.  We will be working shoulder to shoulder with volunteers from these community religious organizations, as well as with the residents of the shelter.

The homeless shelter provides a place for residents to receive mail and to live while they look for work.  The home works with agencies to help the residents find housing and jobs.
