URGENT: Ice Storm Emergency – Match the $10,000 Challenge

This winter, Brunswick County families will sleep in freezing cars and makeshift shelters in the woods.

As ice and freezing rain move into our area with temperatures dropping well below freezing, Brunswick Partnership for Housing is receiving desperate calls from homeless individuals and families seeking emergency shelter. Right now, we have no warming shelters or emergency homeless shelters operating in Brunswick County.

HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: The Southport-Oak Island Interchurch Fellowship just approved a $10,000 emergency grant to provide immediate motel shelter for families in crisis.

HERE'S THE CHALLENGE: We need the Brunswick County community to MATCH that $10,000 so we can serve every family calling for help during this dangerous weather event.

Your donation provides:

$75 – One night of emergency motel shelter for a family
$225 – Three nights of safety during the storm
$525 – One week of emergency housing while we work toward permanent solutions

This is life-or-death urgent. Hypothermia, frostbite, and exposure-related emergencies are real threats to our neighbors sleeping outside tonight.

Your emergency gift ensures funds go directly to motel placements.

Our neighbors in crisis deserve our community's support. Will you help us match this challenge?
