WARM NC

10/09/2026

Meet Zenna! For the past 22 years, she has called her Burgaw house home, and when we asked what home means to her, she had one word: “Sanctuary.”

Over the years, storms had taken a toll on her roof. Water was leaking into her kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom, leaving visible damage behind. And as getting up and down the steps became harder, Zenna started referring to the five steps outside her back door as “a mountain.”

Through WARM NC, Zenna received a new roof, a ramp and bathroom safety modifications to help her continue living independently in the home she loves.

After the repairs were finished, she told us, “A burden had been lifted from my shoulders.”

Zenna’s story is a reminder of why a safe home matters. It means having a roof you don’t have to worry about when it rains, a safer way through your own front door, and the ability to stay in the place that feels most like yours.

For Zenna, home is sanctuary.

We’re excited to have Novant Health Coastal Region joining us as a Hole-in-One Sponsor for the first annual WARM NC Classic! ⛳

Novant Health’s team cares for neighbors across southeastern North Carolina, including right here in Wilmington at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. Their focus on community health connects closely with the work we do at WARM NC, because having a safe place to live plays an important role in a person’s well-being.

A sturdy handrail, a repaired floor, or an accessible entrance can help someone move around their home with confidence. Novant Health’s sponsorship helps make those repairs possible, and we’re grateful to have their support as we bring our community together for our first tournament.

Thank you, Novant Health! We can’t wait for October 26 at the Country Club of Landfall!

30 years of WARM NC means 30 years of people showing up for their neighbors!

We’re so grateful for the volunteers, donors, partners and friends who have supported this work over the years and continue to rally around our mission today. This night was our chance to bring some of those incredible people together and celebrate the community that has made WARM NC what it is.

Being a good neighbor can look like a lot of things. Giving your time, making a gift, lending a hand or simply caring enough to show up when someone needs you.

For 30 years, that’s exactly what this community has done.

Thank you for being our neighbors and for helping us be good neighbors, too. 💙🏠

A round of golf is always better with refreshments nearby!

Thank you to Copiers Plus, the Beverage Cart Sponsor for the first annual WARM NC Classic. With two beverage carts making their way around the course, golfers can grab a drink and keep the day moving.

We’re glad to have Copiers Plus joining us for a fun day at the Country Club of Landfall while supporting WARM NC and our work throughout southeastern North Carolina. We appreciate their sponsorship and look forward to seeing everyone on the course!
