ICO Providing Assistance for Furloughed Government Employees

Interfaith Community Outreach

This week Interfaith Community Outreach, Inc. in partnership with, The Outer Banks Community Foundation has received an anonymous donation in the amount of $5,000 to help our neighbors in need that are facing a temporary emergency crisis due to being Furloughed with the government shutdown.  These funds will be used to help furloughed workers with paying everyday bills, rent, mortgage, gas, electric, etc.  If you are furloughed and need assistance, please contact ICO at 252-480-0070 or go online to www.interfaithoutreach.com to apply for assistance.  

Interfaith Community Outreach (ICO) mission is to provide assistance to individuals facing a temporary emergency crisis.    Last year ICO was able to help 947 families, and give back to our community over $250,000 in direct outreach.  ICO office is in Kill Devil Hills at 115 Mustian Street.  If you’d like to make a donation, join their volunteer staff, or refer someone, please call 252-480-0070. 

We need your support to help those in need. 

If you are in a position to help, please assist your neighbors today with a tax-deductible gift to ICO or go to www.obcf.org/donate.
