On Wednesday morning, a group of committed activists for the homeless “broke ground” at East Marion Pentecostal Holiness Church for the new Code Purple Hotline 828-764-1295. This hotline has been created to aid the local homeless community with finding basic needs. At the “ground-breaking” were (from left) the Rev. Jeff Palmer, pastor of East Marion PHC, his wife Niki Palmer, Debora Workman with the Marion East Community Forum, activists Ethan Boyles, Tamara Armstrong Taylor and Jason Seidel of the Let’s Act Army – McDowell.

A portable toilet has been installed on Clark Street in the East Marion community for the homeless to use. People experiencing homelessness now can have their privacy and won’t have to use the bathroom on someone’s property. The Community Engagement Project has partnered with the East Marion Pentecostal Holiness Church to fund the portable toilet.
