LaCount and Anna Anderson have been in poverty ministry in eastern NC since 2009 working with unhoused people in shelters; working with the Conetoe Family Life Center in Conetoe, NC; and assisting local churches as they meet the needs of the community.
Anna serves as CBF Field Personnel Emeritis with Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. LaCount is President of the Eastern NC Poverty Network, Inc. and also serves as CBF Mission Engagement Partner.
Twenty plus years ago Together For Hope cast a bold vision- a 20-year commitment to the 20 poorest counties in America.
Today we have over 50 partner organizations in many of those counties throughout rural America and we have expanded our bold vision to include all 301 counties of persistent rural poverty in the U.S.
Housing insecurity in eastern NC is a priority of our work. In 2021 we assisted Conetoe Family Life Center in opening a transitional house to aid families with decent housing while in transition.
We also work with other non-profits and churches to provide assistance for people seeking a more secure and healthy place to live. We seek to discuss with others the opportunity to open other transitional houses in communities throughout NC.
Secondly, we participate in a program sponsored by Cooperative Baptist Fellowship entitled: Strengthening Families. The Strengthening Families program is designed to provide mental health resources to people in poverty who struggle with issues relating to trauma. We feel that providing mental health resources is important to navigating life.
