Serving Wake County by providing critical and essential basic needs with Compassion, Dignity, and Care.
Our Mission
We engage our community to serve and advocate on behalf of those affected by poverty by providing food and nutrition, promoting health and wellness, and by laying the foundations of home.
Our Vision
A community where everyone is as healthy as they can be, has excellent nutrition and has a stable home.
Our Approach
We center our approach around Compassion, Dignity, and Care. Our programs continually evolve to meet the changing needs of a growing community.
We recognize the multitude of problems facing those in crisis. When food and funds run out, when untreated illnesses affect a family, when the sense of “home” has slipped away – we seek to step in and provide help to our neighbors. And even beyond the crisis, we invite clients to consider what changes might help them to enjoy a more stable life.
The issues we seek to ease are almost always intertwined – hunger, health, home. We want to give our neighbors in need a hand up, not a handout. We seek to partner with them to help make their lives better.
Building Sustainable Support Where It’s Needed Most

Shelter for Women at the Helen Wright Center
We offer emergency shelter, meals and counseling, along with a longer-term program that helps women achieve stable housing and workforce development.
Food Pantry
Our food pantry offers convenient curbside pickup, delivering fresh, healthy, and nutritious food to you each week. You’ll receive a variety of fresh produce, canned goods, meats, and eggs whenever they are available.
