We are seeking photographers to capture before and after shots of the rebuilding projects we complete, and rebuild volunteers in action.
So many special moments happen during WARM rebuilds. A homeowner's smile as his/her home is repaired, the curiosity in a teenager's eyes as they learn how to build a wheelchair ramp, hugs between two people who were once strangers... These are all moments we like to capture in photos. To do this we need volunteer photographers, such as yourself, to go out to WARM rebuild sites and take photos of volunteers and homeowners.Rebuilds are located in Brunswick, Duplin, New Hanover, Onslow, and Pender counties.

Mission Statement
WARM NC's mission is to repair, rebuild, and make homes accessible; and to inspire service, generosity, and hope. Serving low-income homeowners in Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Duplin, New Hanover, Onslow, and Pender counties, many of whom are elderly, disabled, and/or veterans. WARM helps people age in place safely by preventing home accidents and illnesses - preserving their dignity and independence.
Description
Founded as Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry, WARM NC began in 1996 in response to hurricanes Bertha and Fran. Volunteers from across our region were organized by leaders of the Wilmington District of the United Methodist Church to repair the damaged homes of low-income and elderly residents. As they entered the homes, volunteers noticed that much of the damage predated the storms - they just did not have the resources to make costly repairs. So, while responding to a natural disaster, WARM volunteers discovered a social disaster: substandard housing.
Since its inception, WARM has helped over 2,000 families in Southeastern North Carolina.
WARM opened the Center for Homeownership Retention in 2023. We will keep going until every homeowner in our service area is able to live safely and independently in the home they worked so hard to pay for.
