The AME Church Incentive Shelter
While in North Carolina, Bishop DeVeaux also visited the AME Church Incentive Shelter in Raleigh. Recognizing the growing number of homeless persons living in Raleigh, NC., the Women's Missionary Society of the Western North Carolina Annual Conference, in 1987 pledged to carry out the goal of the Connectional WMS to help the plight of the homeless.
The WNC Conference Branch WMS opened the AME Shelter in Raleigh in April 1988, with the assistance of Mrs. Shirely Sheares, Founder and others. Seeking to provide more than just shelter, the AME Church Shelter attempts to make use of the daylight hours to coordinate vital city services (i.e. social, medical, employment) in ways that help homeless persons solve the problems that create and sustain their homeless condition.
