Giving Tuesday 2022

Meet William Beech, our neighbor. His smile and gentle spirit inspires us all here at The Filling Station. He and his mother, Priscilla, live right behind The Filling Station Garden. Each Tuesday and Thursday, he “reports in” for duty serving his community. In a recent interview with William and Jimmy Bender, Food Pantry Director, they were sharing stories about their Wednesday pickup day at Religious Community Services (RCS) in New Bern. As they drive the new box truck past the car dealerships, they talk about envisioning themselves driving a fast sports car around town. His commitment to The Filling Station mission has opened doors for growth and advancement. William shares “I love getting to know people and this has been a wonderful place to connect”. William is a Dallas Cowboys Fan, loves to read, watch movies and enjoys time with his dog, Sparky. He is a member of St. Phillips Church in Pollocksville.
