A Hand Up, Not a Hand Out.
Our mission
A Doorway to Hope provides temporary, emergency assistance for the working poor in Southwest Wake County. The goal of our experienced staff is to return families in need to self-sufficiency.
Our Story
We do not subsidize income, rather we assist working families in crisis to meet their immediate need, returning them to a state of self sufficiency.
Through Crisis Ministry and our programs, we are able to help families through their crisis with rent and utility support, food, clothing, furniture, child care assistance, Baskets of Hope, and much more.
Did you know?
17% of children in North Carolina are living in poverty.
It is nearly impossible for one full-time employed, minimum wage worker to support even one child without falling into poverty. For many of the working poor, living paycheck-to-paycheck means there is no savings fund for emergencies. Numerous situations such as a spouse leaving, a long-term illness, lost job or even a car breaking down can send good, hard working people into a crisis. Rent, utility and other bills go unpaid. Eviction notices start a downward spiral of unfortunate circumstances.
This is where A Doorway to Hope can help.
Bringing faith, hope, and a helping hand to those in need since 2010.
We believe if we truly want to affect the outlook and conditions for the working poor in our community, we must actively engage in dialog and work together with other community leaders. We are honored to have representation at the following committees:
Western Region Community Advocacy Committee
Hispanic Outreach Committee of the Western Region
