Eastern North Carolina free clothing closets, furniture and back to school supply programs.
Families that are struggling in the eastern North Carolina region can get items including free clothes, small or large furniture items, uniforms, school supplies and other items. The assistance is offered by clothing closets or low cost thrift stores or local furniture banks. The sites distribute a number of goods to needy and less fortunate families and children. There are non-profit organizations in the entire region, including the counties of Pitt, Craven, Carteret, and Beaufort.
If a location is not near you, then referrals may be provided to more convenient sites for basic needs, backpacks or book bags for school, kitchen supplies and other household goods. Many of the centers have information on, or are run by charities or churches, so they try to assistance as many people as possible. However, not everyone will qualify.
Hundreds of families shop at these thrift stores or clothing closets each month. They may receive coats, school supplies (such as backpacks), shoes, electronics such as computers, bed or furniture, work attire or uniforms. If your income is low enough, a clothing closet may provide you a voucher that can be used to shop at a thrift store in Pitt or Craven County.
