This is Catherine H. Barber. Shortly after her death, a decision was made to open up this homeless shelter (instead of starting a scholarship) due to a high need for sheltering the homeless in Wilkes County. Catherine always had a heart for helping others as can be seen with her helping raise several foster children through the years.
We operate with a VOLUNTEER Board of Directors as well as 2 night managers that are paid a small salary.
Currently, our yearly budget is approximately $45,000 per year which include these salaries, rent, utilities and insurances.
