OBCF Honoring Champion Award Recipients Interfaith Community Outreach

Help us honor and thank our 2020 Community Foundation Champions! Interfaith Community Outreach (ICO) ICO staff and volunteers help people in our community with a variety of financial needs. Residents who are in need go to them for help after losing a job, accidents, hurricanes, emergency outreach, cancer and more. Extraordinarily, ICO partnered with the Community Foundation in 2019 by going to Ocracoke and helping with case management. They helped our community again in 2020 during the COVID-19 school closures. “I called Jenniffer earlier last year (during COVID), when the board identified the need to help working families with childcare…we needed a partner that would help families pay for whatever childcare they could find,” said Executive Director Lorelei Costa, when conferring the award. “Interfaith Community Outreach stepped up.”
