Over the past 24 years, the William Mangum Honor Card program has raised over $3,000,000 to help programs that serve homeless people. Exodus Homes, a faith-based United Way agency in Hickory that serves homeless people returning to the community from treatment centers and prison is one of eleven Honor Card programs in North Carolina.

William Mangum is often called "North Carolina's artist" for his ability to capture our state's beauty. He is passionate about the needs of homeless people, donating his artistic skills and publishing gifts to make The Honor Card program one of the most well run and leveraged charitable programs in the country. Within each beautiful painting is the subtle image and story of a real homeless person that he knows from his volunteer work in Greensboro.

Nora Davila of Unifour Christian Fellowship Church in Newton is all smiles as she picks up a display easel and four packets of Exodus Homes Honor Cards at the kick off dinner for the program that occurred on November 15, 2011 at Exodus Missionary Outreach Church in Hickory. Unifour Christian Fellowship Church has set a goal of raising $1,000 for Exodus Homes this holiday season. Audrey Longcrier is seen to her left with the Rev. Reggie Longcrier, Exodus Homes Executive Director and Rod Poole, Exodus Homes board member, to her right.This year's Honor Card is based on the true story of Bonnie Harris who was homeless as a result of her addiction but because of people who cared and helped her, she is now the founding director of Hannah's Haven, a home for homeless women in Greensboro. William Mangum's painting for the 2011 Honor Card depicting her struggle is called "Change the World" and in partnership with Wells Fargo who helps produce the cards, they are donated to Exodus Homes with 100% of proceeds from sales going to the supportive housing program.

Each Honor Card has information about Exodus Homes inside. They are available for a minimum donation of $5 each, and individuals who purchase Honor Cards send them to friends and family, indicating that they have made a donation in their honor to Exodus Homes. Cards can be mailed form the person making the gift, or can be mailed by Exodus Homes.
