Shelter Prepares to Make Holiday Enjoyable for Those in Need
BYLESUE KENDRICK
STAFF WRITER
With assistance from the United Church
of Chapel Hill, the Inter-Faith Council
Community House will continue its daily
work Thursday by preparing a
meal with all the trimmings for people who
need a place to spend the Thanksgiving
holiday.
Chris Moran, director of the shelter and
kitchen at 100 W. Rosemary St., stressed
that the shelter’s Thanksgiving activities
were just part of its day-to-day services for
the needy and homeless.
“We’re open 365 days a year, and it’s
always our goal to serve three meals a day
and provide the same level of service for
each one of those 365 days,” Moran said.
“As far as I know, we’re the only 24-
hour shelter for the homeless in North
Carolina, and we strive to make sure those
services are provided not just during the
holidays but every day.”
Richard Edens, co-pastor of the United
Church of Chapel Hill, which has volun
teered for Thanksgiving at the shelter for at
least 10 years, said his congregation’s ser
vice was a part of its normal routine as
well.
“We got involved with the Thanksgiv
ing dinner first of all because our church is
in the normal service rotation at the shelter
to do the fourth Thursday of every month, ”
Edens said.
Edens said the United Church of Christ
congregation’s history also fueled its devo
tion.
“We’ve taken it on and added extra
animation to our Thanksgiving work be
cause we’re the descendants of the Pil
grims, from the former congregational
church the Pilgrims were part of,” he said.
Edens said planning involved more than
50 people making traditional dishes and
serving them at the shelter on Thursday.
“We want to provide everything that
we’d have in our own homes, ” Edens said.
“We’re going to have all the traditional
Thanksgiving foods such as turkey, pota
toes and gravy, green beans, as well as
options like macaroni and cheese for veg
etarians.”
Both Edens and Moran said they ex
pected the holiday crowd to differ little
from the shelter's everyday guests.
“From past years, I’m guessing there

Thanksgiving invitation to students.
“After every Thanksgiving and every

Didow said he had no idea as of yet how
many people would show, but he said he
was optimistic students would take advan

“I have issued invitations to 20 to 30
people,” he said. “Lots of students have

CENTRALIZING
BY ERICA LUETZOW

Describing campus services for women as
wide-ranging but scattered, members of the
Chancellor’s Task Force on Women are seek
ing to improve the organization and effective
ness of women’s resources at UNC.
Student Body Vice President Amy Swan, a
task force member also involved in the
Women’s Issues Network, said UNC needed
to focus on organizing the services it offered
women on campus.
“I think the services we have now are
super,” Swan said. “They meet a lot of the
needs we have. The prob
lem is that all of these ser
vices are scattered around
campus.
“I would like to see the
services become more centralized,” Swan said.
Members of the task force said they would
consider many possible courses of action.
“Because we have a number of people on
our committee ... I think there will be a
number of (suggestions) that will come out,”
said Task Force Co-chairwoman Barbara
DeLon.
Katie Hultquist, a student member of the
task force, said the task force would be able to
make a well-informed decision after it re

use of resources for women and other recently
gathered information.

A Recurring Suggestion
While there are many options for the fu
ture of the women’s services, from establish
ing an office of women’s concerns to creating
an administrative position, one idea that con
stantly resurfaces is of a women’s center.
“When we looked at institutions compa
rable to UNC, a great many of them have a
women’s center,” said Task Force Co-chair
woman Noelle Granger.
Judith Scott, UNC’s sexual harassment
officer, said UNC offered women exceptional
services, but there was no central office orga
nizing available resources. “It’s fairly unusual
for a university of this quality and size not to
have a campus-based women’s center.
“That may be a possibility down the road
if it will serve to enhance the services already
in place,” Scott said. “(Women’s centers) are
a major way that universities respond to
women’s needs on campus.”
Courtney Fitzpatrick, co-chairwoman of
People Organized for Women’s Empower
ment and Rights, also said UNC could benefit
from better organization of resources.
“I personally think we desperately need a
women’s center,” Fitzpatrick said. “You’re
hard-pressed to find a university of our caliber
that does not have one.”
Fitzpatrick said a women's center would
