DENVER – What a difference a building makes. Three different ministries are now able to expand and help more people because of a building gifted to them by Denver United
The area around Hesed House of Hope in Lincolnton has gone from a tangled forest to a beautifully landscaped escape for those who use the services the shelter offers. Most
The beauty of animals is that they donât judge. Dogs often find themselves homeless, just like humans, through no fault of their own. One such homeless dog now has a home â with homeless humans at Hesed House of Hope, Lincoln Countyâs only homeless shelter.
Reese, a pleasant black and tan female dog with a docked tail had a home with a college student who adopted her from an animal shelter in Spartanburg.Â
âShe had problems keeping up with her while she was in college,â Hesed House Director John Hall said. âShe gave it to a friend of mine, but she already had an emotional support dog, a German Shepherd. She tried to keep her for a little while but having two dogs was too much for her.â
The area around Hesed House of Hope in Lincolnton has gone from a tangled forest to a beautifully landscaped escape for those who use the services the shelter offers. Most recently, members of Unity Presbyterian Church in Denver and Denver United Methodist Church in Denver worked together to install 50 shrubs and six Dogwood trees at the base of the parking lot to prevent erosion.
âIâm over at Hesed House at least once a month doing the meals and I hear about the volunteer opportunities,â Bill Muir, the coordinator for the Hesed House meals program at Unity said. âThereâs a five-year improvement program, mostly improving the grounds and education for the residents. On that list was planting trees and erosion control and helping with The Trails of Hope Project which is similar to the Joshua Trail project thatâs at the top of the property.â
