My name is Yuwon Kim, I am a senior at First Flight High School.  I am currently taking an internship class at FFHS, and I choose to do my internship at Interfaith Community Outreach.  I would like to gain work and volunteer experience working with this non-profit.  I plan on attending a university when I graduate and study Art History.  I look forward to learning all I can during this internship.

The PIPSI raised funds to help those in need during its annual “Hope for the Holidays”. Hope for the Holidays was a vision in response to the Covid Pandemic and with the desire to help those in need.  The PIPSI decorated the Pea Island Cookhouse Museum for Christmas and started collecting donations for those 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. In 2021 ICO was able to assist over 1000 families and give back to our community over $400,000 in monetary outreach.  ICO’s office is in Kill Devil Hills at 115 Mustian Street.  If you’d 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.

Interfaith Community Outreach, Inc.

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.
