Our second annual Day in the Country was a huge success, thanks to all of the sponsors, attendees, and volunteers who made the day possible. Through the leadership of our four presenting sponsors, the event gathered representatives from over 40 companies together for a day of fishing, skeet shooting, naturalist tours, cornhole, and relaxing at Genteel Plantation.
The evening ended with Middle of the Island Barbecue, live bluegrass music, and tastings of Trey Herring Bourbon and Ocean South Importer’s wine selec-tions. Thank you to the Harrelson family for hosting this event.
We look forward to seeing everyone again next year for another fun filled day!

This spring we were honored as the Nonprofit Winner for the Coastal Entrepreneur Awards, an award presented by the Greater Wilmington Business Journal in collaboration with UNCW’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The Coastal Entrepreneur Awards bring awareness to entrepreneurial endeavors birthed in the Cape Fear Region. The Harrelson Center was recognized because of it’s good business model, the work our partners do, and the impact of our Angel Outreach Ministry.
Presenter Becky O’Daniell emphasized the synergy among our nonprofit partners and how our shared resources use funding more efficiently. She said the center meets the needs of people we serve through collaboration and the judges were amazed by our business concept. Please visit our website for links to the awards presentation and our feature story in the business journal!
Many Thanks to the Ministering Circle!
WARM Makes Wavesat The Harrelson Center
Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry is now hosting summer worship services in our
courtyard for volunteer groups.
WARM began the Make Waves weekly worship services as a way “to build community at the center and create
relationships with the volunteers,” said Neal Turner, Construction Coordinator. Student groups can now end their day of service in worship with fellow volunteers, leaders, WARM staff, and others at The Center!
Many thanks to the Ministering Circle of Wilmington who recently donated $5,000 to The
Harrelson Center. We are grateful for your support, which helps us meet the needs of our partners and
those served at the center. Shannon Wells, currently serving as President, said they are thrilled to make
this gift to the center.

A Safe Place, formerly known as Centre of Redemption, has been a partner of the Harrelson Center for over two years. The outreach center for A Safe Place, located at the center, gives girls and women who’ve been trafficked a safe place to stay during the day in close proximity to law enforcement. Girls meet with law enforcement as needed. The program has been a great success, and last year A Safe Place needed to expand their space to meet growing demands and to serve more clients.
Last year A Safe Place was able to help 39 young girls and women who were victims of sex trafficking. To learn more about A Safe Place and ways you can get involved with the organization, visit www.asafeplacetogo.com.
Jerri Holliday, Executive Director of Phillipians 3 Ministries, was awarded the Rachel Freeman Unsung Hero Award at the YWCA Women of Achievement Breakfast. Many who know Jerri refer to her as the heartbeat of the Harrelson Center. “She is a survivor, one who has over come adversity with God’s help,” said Jennipher Love, Harrelson Center Outreach Coordinator, when asked about Jerri’s impact on the community.
Jerri has her own story of past trials and suffering, and she has made it her mission through Philippians 3 Ministries to bring hope and healing to those who are homeless, the nearly homeless who reside in shelters, and re-entry clients from drug treatment and incarceration.
Philippians 3 Ministries has been a partner at the Harrelson Center for over six years. Their mission is to provide men and women with various forms of assistance, such as food baskets and interview clothing, to move forward to a better place in life. Last year they served 289 people.
Congratulations Jerri on this highly deserved honor!

Thankful Hearts Luncheon
PC3 College Ministry SERVES at The Harrelson CenterThis spring we had a group of about 30 volun-teers visit the center from the College Overflow Ministry of Port City Community Church. PC3 kicked off the first annual “Serve Day,” a Saturday for hundreds of college students to get out into the community and serve in a variety of ways. Groups of students also volunteered directly for some of our partner organizations including Habitat for Humanity, WARM, and A Safe Place. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication!
Partner Networking & Social EventsThroughout the year we host educational & networking events for our partner organizations. Recently, we held the Reaching Milennials Fundraising Workshop by Mission Advancement, Quickbooks training by Terry Santore of Quicksilver Business Solutions, and an ice cream social. These events are a great opportunities for collaboration, networking, and fun!

The Harrelson Center is in the beginning stages of the Unlock Hope Capital Campaign. This campaign will help the center raise the funds necessary for renovations to the fourth floor of the building and three story original jail tower. These renovations are necessary for the
expansion of two of our current partners, Phoenix Employment Ministry and A Safe Place. Many nonprofits want to move into the center, and renovations will transform the space into rentable office and programming areas.
The committee invites you to come take a tour of the center! Tours are offered on the first Wednesday of every month at 11 a.m.
2015 Donor Appreciation ReceptionThis May we had the opportunity to celebrate a successful year and say thank you to many center supporters with a relaxed spring evening at The Surf Club. Many people who were pres-ent have supported the growth of the center since the beginning stages, over 10 years ago. Executive Director Vicki Dull said, “It’s important for us to stop and say thank you and celebrate how far we’ve come.”
We are grateful to everyone who supports the center. Thank you for your dedication and involvement with the center and for helping us get to where we are today. We hope that everyone will join us at the center soon to take a tour and see some of the renova-tions we’ve recently completed!
The Central Wilmington Rotary Club recently presented donations to several local nonprofits and The Harrelson Center was among them. Two of our partners, WARM and Habitat for Humanity, also received support. From everyone at The Harrelson Center, thank you for your contributions!
New Friend of the Center:
YogaVillageWe’re excited to welcome YogaVillage as a new friend of the Har-
relson Center! Now you can take a yoga class on Thursday evenings at 6 p.m. in our covered courtyard. Class is held rain or shine and is donation based. Bring your own mat and we hope to see you out

Angel Outreach MinistryLaura’s Story
Laura came to the Harrelson Center in early spring after finding a new job. Her job requires a specific uniform, and in order to start working she needed a pair of black work shoes.
The Harrelson Center Angel Outreach program pro-vided the funding for her shoes, and our Outreach Coordinator took Laura to the store to try them on. Laura came back to visit the center a few weeks later. She said she’s enjoying her job and making steps forward to rent an apartment.
Laura says she feels like this position has opened new doors for her and she’s only moving up from here! Pictured from left to right, Laura and our Out-reach Coordinator Jennipher Love.
