Other Ways to Help

Many of our most significant contributions come from medical professionals and trained volunteers who donate time and services to the open clinic and other shelter, transitional, and crisis program activities.

To get involved, visit our Volunteer section.

In-kind gifts, from drug samples to food donations, can also make a big difference. See our Wish List for ideas.

How to Help

We need you to join in our fight against poverty. Your support makes it possible to reach more people in our community who are homeless, hungry, unemployed, have no health insurance, are recovering from substance abuse or experiencing financial difficulties.

What your donations support:

• $25 will buy 25 CAT bus tickets for homeless women at the Helen Wright Center to get to medical appointments and job interviews.
• $50 will purchase 8 prescriptions for patients in the Open Door Clinic.
• $100 will provide a week’s worth of food for 25 families in the Food Pantry.
• $200 will keep the Job Link office open for 30 days to help clients in the Crisis Support Program find employment.
• $500 will provide comprehensive medical care, including doctors visits, all prescription medications and supplies, lab work, diagnostic tests (CT,MRI,other), immunizations, referrals to specialists, and chronic disease management for one patient for one full year in the Open Door Clinic.

Every dollar you invest in Urban Ministries of Wake County has a return of $3.00 worth of services for people in Wake County. Our administrative overhead is less than 6%, which means that 94 cents of every dollar goes directly to the people we serve.
