There is So Much For Families on NC’s crystal coast!
Fortunately, the Crystal Coast is pretty well-known for neighbors helping neighbors, but sometimes when you need help you need to know where to look.
The Carteret Partnership for Children is a good place to start. If they can’t help you, I’m sure they can point you in the right direction!
One great program they offer is a a Kids’ Closet which provides clothing for children ages newborn to 5 years old. The Kids' Closet also has shoes, accessories, toys, and baby gear. All items are FREE (limit 5 per month) and available to all families living in Carteret County. Families can visit the Kids' Closet Monday through Thursday, 7AM-6PM.
The mission of this clinic is to provide access to medical care for the uninsured low income population in our community. Learn how to help or get help.

Thirteen host congregations aided by support churches, unite hearts and hands to provide lodging, meals, and compassionate assistance for homeless families. FPC’s operational day center provides residents with access to phones, the internet, and a network of social service agencies, which are vital tools to FPC’s intensive case management services. The religious community’s assistance coupled with the day program allows Family Promise of Carteret in a period of about 60 days, to do what families have been unable to do for themselves. Working together, families are equipped with the necessary skills for a better future.
