What does $10 buy?
At the IRC $10 buys a full day of service for someone dealing with homelessness. That day could include a shower, a load of laundry, a visit with a nurse, a chance to make phone calls and pick up mail, a job skills class, a meeting with a housing counselor and more.
At the IRC $10 buys a better tomorrow.
By signing up to be an IRC Sustainer today you can make an investment every month in the future of someone struggling with homelessness. Even better, if you sign up now you can double your investment! The Fund for Democratic Communities is matching the first $50 of every monthly gift committed to the IRC through the end of October.
As an IRC Sustainer, your monthly contribution will support and grow the services and community that our guests find within our doors.
Final touches…
Artifacts Cooperative @ Glenfest!
The Artifacts Artist Cooperative will be hitting the road…. well, sort of… Artifacts is traveling to a neighborhood south of the IRC to participate in a neighborhood festival, selling their creative wares! Glenwood is a vibrant Greensboro Community, where many of guests of the IRC stay and have connections and roots.
Come on out for a day of family fun, and be sure to stop by the Artifacts table to meet the artists and see their new work!
