Social Services has several outreach programs that depend on community volunteers and donations.
Volunteer

Community Based Volunteer Opportunities
If we are unable to find a good match within our organization, then we are happy to provide you with more information about community based organizations that may have opportunities available.
Make a Financial Donation
Many of our programs and projects rely on the generous financial contributions of concerned citizens to assist low resource families. We welcome a conversation with you to discuss the ways in which we can align your giving preferences to community needs.
Make an In-Kind Donation
Many of our projects and programs are grateful to receive donations of materials and supplies for distribution to families in need. We welcome a conversation with you to discuss the ways in which we can align your giving preferences to community needs.
How you can help during or after a disaster
No one knows when or how the next emergency will occur. Fires, floods and tornadoes can strike anywhere, at any time.
What we do know is that Wake County residents will reach out to help our affected neighbors in their time of greatest need.
When a disaster is great enough to activate the Wake County Emergency Operations Center and open our shelter facilities, efficiency is critical to success.
Visit our Volunteering or Donating After a Disaster page to learn how you can plan to help the next time an emergency occurs. Knowing in advance how you can help will streamline the emergency response and ensure that help is available to victims during all phases of recovery.
