Festival focused on crime prevention

A Free Fall Festival was held at Lakeview Mobile Home Park on Wednesday, October 22. There was food, candy bags, dessert, contests, and a DJ. The event was sponsored by the nonprofit VIP Hope and Hope Services. Other businesses that came out to support were the Sanctuary Hospice, Love House Ministry, Healing Waters Ministry and Home Source Rentals. The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department told local tenants about the importance of crime prevention and organizer Shang Torey Hopkins emphasized speaking up against crime.  “The goal is to inspire local communities to open up and take back the streets and cooperate with local law enforcement in apprehending criminals,” said Hopkins.
