OPEN DOOR COMMUNITY CENTER
CHARITY SPOTLIGHT
Welcoming Women & Children in Need
O
pen Door Community Center (ODCC), located in Washington, N.C. is a non-profit 501 C (3) organization established in 2016 by a group of volunteers representing churches, service organizations, civic groups and concerned citizens. Their mission is to understand and provide safe shelter for Beaufort County women and children in need of permanent housing. The center opened January 22, 2019, and since that time, has helped transition over 115 women and children. Each year hundreds of women and children in Beaufort County are homeless. Many wind up sleeping in their cars. Now 3 ½ years later, COVID has increased homelessness and these women and children need your support even more.
