RALEIGH, N.C.–SECU Foundation has provided a $40,000 grant to Out Of The Ashes, a western North Carolina non-profit that serves the homeless in Rutherford and Polk Counties.
The grant from the Foundation answered the organization’s request for help to address the long-range planning and sustainability of its second phase campus development for transitional housing and temporary shelters for homeless men and women. Since being founded in 2017, Out Of The Ashes has been providing shelter and supportive services including food, transportation, job skills training, financial counseling, and more with the help of community partnerships.
“SECU Foundation shares this organization’s concern for the health and welfare of the people and communities in this area, and we are proud to help them with funding for the planning and development needed to expand their services and further their vision,” said Jama Campbell, SECU Foundation executive director. “We look forward to seeing their campus grow to provide a greater number of men and women with safe housing and supportive services to help them move into stability.”
