Episode 5: Open Door Ministries  
When it comes to meeting needs of food and housing security in High Point, Open Door Ministries is transforming lives, from immediate crisis management to long-term strategies for individuals experiencing homelessness. Thanks to their team, lead by Executive Director, Ryan Ross, and supported by additional staff like Director of Operations, Orel Henry, Open Door Ministries meets needs across a variety of services – from food pantry to soup kitchen, to transitional housing, to job assistance, and more. Their newest undertaking is to expand to a Day Center, an operational facility that would provide them with exponential growth for their services to improve the entire High Point community for all! Listen to our conversation with Ryan and Orel to discover their work, our societal misconceptions around homelessness, and how we can get involved as a community to support our neighbors!
