Through ministries of food, compassion, emergency finances, prayer, and other means of support, our volunteers seek to assist with human need. Our volunteers come largely from churches throughout the county.

WHAT DO WE DO?
SOUP KITCHEN MINISTRY
Our soup kitchen is operated six days a week (M-S) at 1410 Bridges St., Morehead City, from 11:00 AM to 12:50 PM. An average of 107 free hot lunches are served daily by volunteers to any who need and desire a meal.
OUTREACH MINISTRY (Emergency Financial Assistance)
Our outreach ministry provides emergency financial aid to those it can serve through the paying of bills which threaten to leave persons without electricity, fuel, rent, and other such essentials. Our Caregivers seek to give counsel as well as assistance. This ministry operates each Monday and Wednesday from 1:30 to 4:30 PM at the soup kitchen. Weekly, an average of $1200.00 is dispersed.
SHELTER MINISTRY
We are a men's shelter, during the day, guests are given assignments including but not limited to the following: volunteering at the mission, attending treatment, securing social security cards, securing other identification, following up on job opportunities, visiting the community college, searching for housing and visiting the Employment Security Commission. Guests are taught life skills and are encouraged to participate in Bible study during the week and attend the church of their choice on Sunday. We always need volunteers and provide volunteer training for those interested in volunteering.
OTHER SERVICES
Our ministry seeks to provide other services in the case of special emergencies. Assistance may be given to burned-out families, major medical needs, burial assistance, transportation, as well as information about other services. We pray with and for our clients.
HOW ARE WE ORGANIZED?
A Board of Directors who are active Christians and local church members and pastors in Carteret County oversee this ministry. Committees of the Board operate these ministries and an Executive Director keeps things running smoothly.
HOW ARE WE FINANCED?

Funding is provided by several general appeals to individuals, special appeals to civic and community organizations and both contributions and line-item commitments from churches.
