What We Do

The  mission  of Crisis Assistance Ministry is to  provide assistance  and advocacy for people in financial crisis, helping them move toward self-sufficiency. Helping to stabilize housing for Mecklenburg County families, Crisis Assistance Ministry provides for basic needs with rent and utility assistance, clothing, household goods, and appliances; fosters financial stability through partnerships, counseling, and support to give families the tools they need to reach for economic mobility; and educates and engages the community to understand the realities of poverty in Mecklenburg County.
