Connecting Hearts and Helping Hands
Building a better future through compassion
At VCHC, the main priority is meeting the needs of our community. The costs of groceries and household items are at an all-time high. Many other contributing factors can make affordability difficult for the average family.
Single-parent families have increased; and, often they don't receive their child support regularly, if at all. Some families struggle with limited education and/or training, making sufficient employment difficult.
Many of the elderly people live alone. A large portion of their income may be spent on medications and/or transportation. Unfortunately, there aren't many programs in our community to assist them with these needs.
There are many other needs within our community, and the Vanceboro Christian Help Center continues to work to help meet the needs of the underserved residents of Western Craven County.
