Do You Know What the Acceptable Forms of Voting ID Are?

UPDATE::

Linked to this post, you'll find the Acceptable Forms of Voting ID for North Carolina.  Earlier in the year, I went to the early polls to vote in the primaries; and they asked to help get the word out about Voting IDs.  If you don't have a valid ID, you'll need one to vote and they had the ability to make one for you--for FREE.  Be sure to ask for yours!  They are good for 10 years, so that should keep you good through the next few elections.

AME Empowerment Center/Shelter

The AME Empowerment Center [Homeless Shelter] (Church Shelter) in Raleigh NC needs the continued support of all who care about the homeless and who want to help bring relief to their plight.  Persons who would like to support this outreach ministry may do so by calling the Shelter and making inquiries at (919) 834-3734.

With You, We Can Make A Difference!

The Problem:

Homelessness is a problem that is occurring with increased frequency in the cities and towns of North Carolina.  The N.C. Department of Human Resources reports a 50% increase in the number of persons  seeking shelter in Raleigh, the state capitol.

Our Challenge:

Recognizing the growing numbers of homeless persons in the City of Raleigh, N.C., the Women's Missionary Society (WMS) of the Western North Carolina (WNC) Annual Conference, in 1987, pledged to carry out the goal to help the plight of the homeless.

Our Response:

The WNC Conference Branch WMS opened the AME Church Shelter in Raleigh in April, 1988, with the assistance of Mrs. Shirley J. Sheares, Founder, and others. Seeking to provide more than just shelter, the AME Church Shelter attempts to make constructive use of the daylight hours to coordinate vital city services  (i.e. social, medical, employment) in ways that help homeless persons solve the problems that create and sustain their homeless condition
