Join us the Saturday before Mother's Day for a very special volunteer experience, where you can make urgent, safety-ralated repairs for a local mother in need.
About the Home, the Homeowner, & Planned Repairs: Ms. Satin is a single mother who is raising three children that all have difficult medical conditions. Between her full-time job as a firefighter medic for the Leland Fire Department and caring for her children there is not any time or money left to tend to her home. Won’t you come offer this hard working mother a helping hand? I can’t think of a much better Mother’s Day gift than that!
We will accomplish a lot on May 12 in order to ease some of the stress Ms. Satin is feeling. Here is an idea of the repairs volunteers like you will be making: repair the landings and steps at her entryways, repair her floors and exterior door, build an access ramp, and make her bathroom more accessible. Though a partnership with the Red Cross we will also be installing smoke alarms in her home.

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.
