History
NC Catholics Volunteer was founded in 2016, in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, in the Tar River Region. In partnership with the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church, we were able to provide help to survivors and assist them in returning home. The NC Catholics Volunteer program strives to repair, rebuild, and make homes safe for families.
Following Hurricane Florence in 2018, the Cape Fear Regional Office began partnering with the Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry to assist survivors. In early 2022, a Catholic Charities Construction Manager was hired, allowing for continued growth of the program.
The NC Catholics Volunteer program also supported recovery efforts on the Outer Banks following Hurricane Dorian. Volunteers participated in a week-long trip to assist with gutting & mucking homes, as well as starting the rebuild process for many survivors.
