Eden Village
Eden Village of Wilmington will be a 32-unit tiny home community specially designed to provide permanent homes for chronically homeless individuals including patients of the local hospital. Many patients of the medical center experience chronic illness, which are treatable but require consistent living circumstances to improve treatment results. A home is an essential component to long-term health care for these individuals and a proven, permanent solution to chronic homelessness.
Echo Haiti
ECHO Haiti is a Wilmington, North Carolina based group who sponsors an orphanage and school in Bon Repos, Haiti. We have been working closely with this orphanage for eight years and have seen huge improvements in the health and growth of the kids and community. We provide food, housing and medical for the kids at the orphanage, plus we built them a school that also serves 70 other children from the community who would otherwise not be able to afford a school. We have been wildly fortunate this past year and have been able to purchase the adjoining land to the school and orphanage. This will allow the school to expand into high school age, vocational programs and serve more children and adults in the community. In addition, it has provided more space for the children in the orphanage through renovations to the house and more room to expand. Life is difficult in Haiti, especially for our kids. Many have deceased parents, have been abandoned, or rescued from horrific situations. In the orphanage, they all feel like a family, and are safe and secure. Our desire is to be able to provide each of these kids with hope and the ability to spread their hope into Haiti. We believe that by giving them a future, they will influence their community and country to grow and prosper. Your donations will directly amplify hope of over 100 children in Haiti, plus it will provide salaries for Haitian teachers and workers, who will in turn be able to provide a more secure home for their families. This is our ECHO. We believe that helping our kids, helps a community, which ultimately helps a nation. Our goal is to make such a loud sound with these kids that it echoes throughout Haiti for generations. Will you add to the ECHO?

Rachel Freeman School of Engineering Library
Rachel Freeman School of Engineering is located in Wilmington, NC. Over 95% of students at Freeman are from economically disadvantaged homes. Less than 10% of the students are kindergarten ready when they start school. Reading is essential in helping students achieve their goals. The Freeman library is in much need of current and engaging books. Many of the current books are tattered and worn from over 20 years in circulation and the content is no longer current or relevant. Would you consider buying a book to add to the Freeman Library collection.

Cooler Expansion - Beaufort County
The cooler/freezer project in Beaufort County will allow the food pantry there to capture more fresh produce throughout the year from both the food sourced by local farmers, as well as retail donations by partners such as Food Lion and Walmart. The $8,000 of funding is the final push to complete this project.
Each year in northeastern North Carolina, approximately 44 Million lbs. of produce goes unharvested. Expansion of capacity and cooler space will allow this partner agency to receive and distribute more produce each year.
The hunger-relief partner serves 6 counties in northeastern North Carolina, and before COVID was serving approximately 70-80 boxes of food per month. During COVID to present, they are serving 100 boxes each week to people in need. The effects of COVID has created unemployment at record highs, and is forcing many people to seek assistance today and we are expecting this continue for quite some time.
The cooler/freezer expansion is going to allow this food pantry to receive thousands of pounds of fresh produce and frozen meat each month for distribution. Capacity, especially cooler space, is one of the greatest restrictions that Food Banks and our hunger-relief partners have.
OBX Mobile Pantries
Food Bank of the Albemarle operates 3 mobile food pantries in the Outer Banks Area: Mann's Harbor, Manteo, and Colington. Each of these serves approximately 20-50 households each month. These mobiles support both local and seasonal workers and their families, all year long. COVID has forced much of the restaurant and hospitality industry to reduce their workforce.
