ICO NEW VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

My name is Sophie Yacobi and I’m currently a junior at First Flight High School.  In my free time I enjoy playing soccer and going to the beach with friends.  I’ve just recently started volunteering here at Interfaith.  It feels so good to start my mornings helping others.  Growing up on the Outer Banks I’ve seen the struggles locals go through to keep this island running.  Taking time out of my day to give back to my community cost nothing to me, but may mean the world to someone in need.

Each year PIPSI chooses an organization that leads the charge in identifying that need. This year they choose Interfaith Community Outreach.  Interfaith Community Outreach “Provides Assistance to Individuals and families facing a Temporary Emergency Crisis”. ICO will bridge the gap in our community for those in need.

ICO, OBRF & Caring Hands Ministry Repairing Stairs for the Elderly

Interfaith Community OUTREACH, Outer Banks Relief Foundation & Caring Hands Ministry Collaborating Together for our Community!

Interfaith Community Outreach, Outer Banks Relief Foundation and Caring Hands Ministry partnered to complete these new staircases today, both the high stair on the north side and the lower stair on the southside.

John Klamut was the leader on this project. Other Caring Hands teammates for the three-day project were Scott Kessler, John Park, David Kole, Steve Hachtman, Ron Ordas, Bill Mathews, and Jack Meagher.

Klamut reported that the client, her Social Worker, and friend who delivers her food, were incredibly pleased with the significant improvement in safety. “This has been a great project. I discovered that the client and I had each lived in Spain. And…small world fact……Shelby Hines with Caring Hands Ministries built this house in 1967 for the client’s mother! A special thanks to Shelby who stopped by to supervise and took a load of debris in his truck to the dump.”

From its office in Kill Devil Hills, ICO provides direct financial support to residents who are facing a temporary emergency crisis. In 2020 ICO was able to give back to our community over $400,000 in monetary outreach to our neighbors facing temporary financial crises.

If you would like to donate, join their volunteer staff, or refer someone, please call 252-480-0070 or go online to www.interfaithoutreach.com to apply for assistance.
