Jeremiah Caswell

Case Manager and Program Services Coordinator

Jeremiah joined Western Wake Crisis Ministry in November 2020. He has served in his community for a number of years. As the volunteer Outreach Pastor at his church, his eyes have been opened to those in need. This position has also helped him build relationships with other organizations in the area.

"My favorite sound in the world is that exhale someone makes when they know they are being taken care of. They know that there are people who care for their situation and it will be better."
