The Meeting Place One

Our purpose is to provide shelter, food, clothing and aid to those in need in burke county, nc. We work closely with other like-minded organizations in The community to ensure that The physical, mental, legal, social, educational, recovery, and spiritual needs of our less fortunate are attended. Our programs operate on a four point plan: extensive assessment, developing a plan of action, accountability & goal maintenance. We provide housing, meals, counseling, job placement and referral to other services. We currently use 3 locations to transition residents into permanent housing. Our emergency shelter provides a safe night's stay for women and children who have nowhere to go. When someone checks into The shelter we provide a good meal and a clean bed. We give each person a clean set of pajamas to wear after they shower. This allows us to launder their clothes overnight. In The morning they leave after breakfast with a hearty snack, wearing clean clothes.
