SECU Foundation awarding $2 million grant to Wilmington Good Shepherd Center

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — SECU Foundation has announced its awarding a $2 million challenge grant to Good Shepherd Center (GSC) in Wilmington.

Good Shepherd Center is the largest provider of homeless services in the Cape Fear region.

“Good Shepherd Center has been a tremendous catalyst in providing housing solutions to address homelessness and ensure the area’s most vulnerable populations have access to a stable environment and the support they need,” said SECU Foundation Executive Director Jama Campbell. “We are honored to help this organization take a significant step forward in the fight to end homelessness, and we hope that our challenge grant will inspire others to lend their support to an effort that is making such a positive difference for North Carolinians.”

Good Shepherd Center plans to use the funds for the construction of a new 32-unit permanent supportive housing facility to assist veterans, seniors, and persons with disabilities battling chronic homelessness.
