Rowan Helping Ministries provides assistance in meeting basic human needs

 for those finding themselves in crisis in Rowan County, NC.

"After 25 years in operation, Rowan Helping Ministries plans to build a new homeless shelter and soup kitchen across the street from the overcrowded facility at 226 N. Long St. The nonprofit agency already has raised 96 percent of the $5.5 million goal, including $1 million from Fred and Alice Stanback for construction of an environmentally friendly building and $2 million from the Robertson Family Foundation.

The project includes construction of a 20,000-square-foot shelter and soup kitchen, which will feature solar panels and energy-saving design..."   -- Salisbury Post, Emily Ford
