urgent help needed
This summer, the Peninsula Community Foundation received more requests for assistance than any time in our 20+ year history. We are asking for your help in raising $150,000 this month to fully fund critical need grant requests for food, shelter, & life-sustaining health care in the LKN area and Western NC.
FOOD
HEALTH CARE
SHELTER
During the summer months, when schools aren't in session, food security for children is always a challenge. This year, local charities that work to ensure no one in our community goes hungry, are struggling to provide meals to everyone in need. They are overwhelmed, under-resourced, and in desperate need of help.
SHELTER
HEALTH CARE
SHELTER
Your donations to our critical needs campaign help our neighbors complete urgent home repairs to needed systems such as plumbing or A.C. or other structural damage that threatens their ability to have a safe living environment. Your assistance also provides shelter to those affected by storms across Western NC where the need is still so great.

HEALTH CARE
No one should live in pain or be denied access to medical care because of their financial circumstances. There is a huge need in our area for assistance with "extras" that are not covered by insurance, but are necessary and unaffordable for so many, such as dental care, prescriptions, optometric services, adaptive equipment for those with disabilities, and mental health care.
