WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - First Fruit Ministries and the Cape Fear Council of Governments count the homeless population and work out what specific needs they may have to help change their circumstances.
“Our goal is always just creating relationships with people, giving them a connection and being able to tell their story,” said Mark Skolaski, the Outreach Director at First Fruit Ministries.
It’s a tall task as the organizations work to reach as many homeless community members as possible.
