At F.A.C.E.S. (Family and Community Empowerment Services), every day we meet families who are just one crisis away from losing stability. Because of supporters like you, we’ve been able to step in with compassion and immediate care.

From 11/1/24 – 10/31/25, together we were able to provide over $28K in assistance to 139 households!

$18K+ went to Duke/Progress Energy assistance to help families keep the lights on and provide heat and AC in extreme weather conditions.

This work is only possible because our community gives generously.

Today, on Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting you to partner with us once again.
Your gift of any size helps a struggling family breathe again.
