The Bethesda Center for the Homeless
In 1989, the Bethesda Center opened to serve and improve the lives of the homeless in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County and beyond by providing shelter and housing along with stabilization services and case management. The facility is a 365-days-a-year day shelter, night shelter and emergency night shelter, equipped to house up to 100 men and women each night, expanding when needed to accommodate and turn no one away. The task of serving the homeless is an outreach that only happens when people step up and support the Bethesda Center with financial help and donations. Currently, the Bethesda Center is experiencing a strain in finances, leading to shortened hours and services. In order to encourage donations, the interim executive director of the Bethesda Center and associate pastor of Agape Faith Church, Chris Leab, is addressing the misconceptions of the homeless and how giving someone a hand up can make all the difference for his or her future.
