Outreach Supports Community Members Facing Eviction

Last week, Grace Church had the opportunity to come alongside a group of people in our community who were facing eviction. When the Economy Inn on Augusta Road was condemned, the Greenville Homeless Alliance asked for our help, and we were able to work with other local organizations to provide a meal, temporary housing, and social support for nearly 30 people.

It was a privilege to work with other churches and local frontline service providers—North Hills Church, Fellowship Greenville, Salvation Army, Triune Mercy Center, Miracle Hill, FAVOR, and Community Fresh Start—all came together to serve our community. We rejoice that we could share God’s love in this way. However, this instance is a single situation that points to a greater problem in our community—lack of affordable housing. In order for us to answer God’s command to love our neighbors, we must continue to serve those around us, particularly those in need.
