What We Do
Crisis Assistance Ministry is Mecklenburg County’s Lead Agency offering emergency assistance to impoverished families. Specifically, Crisis Assistance Ministry helps families facing financial crisis by: providing for basic needs with rent and utility assistance, clothing, household goods, furniture, beds and appliances; fostering financial stability through partnerships, counseling, and support to give families the tools they need to reach for economic mobility; and educating the community about the realities of poverty in Mecklenburg County.
Volunteer opportunities at Crisis Assistance Ministry are many and diverse, ranging from volunteer opportunities in our Free Store warehouse for families with school age or older children to long-term opportunities for college-age and adults.
