Open Door Ministry

On the first Tuesday of every month from September-May, we provide and serve food at the Open Door Ministries shelter on Centennial St. in High Point.   You may also help by writing High Point Friends a check with the memo “Open Door Ministry” to help cover the cost of the food. If you would like to help serve food on the first Tuesday of any month, a sign-up sheet is posted on the community bulletin board.  . . . . . Socks or other winter clothes for the homeless may be placed in Basket #3 in the hall.
