PIN's Story

2002 – 2004 The Beginning

It all started in June of 2002, when Anne Stamper served 12 sandwiches to 5 homeless people, and by the beginning of 2003 PIN was providing food to 60 people every week. In 2003 PIN began offering clothing and hygiene supplies. In 2004 PIN began offering medical care through volunteer nurses, then on May of 2004 PIN became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

2005– 2007 Growing Up

In August of 2005 PIN began our Biblical services called PINnacle. In January of 2006 Dallas Stamper became the first full-time employee of PIN. Dallas still serves PIN as the Executive Director. In 2007 PIN began our housing program with the purchase and rehabilitation of our first mobile home. PIN now owns 3 mobile homes which we use to help homeless families.

2008– 2010 Taking Shape

In January of 2008 PIN began a partnership with Recovery for Life to provide drug and alcohol groups for the homeless. In 2009 PIN enhanced our housing program by leasing houses from the City of Virginia Beach. PIN currently leases 2 houses, but are currently looking to expand that relationship.
