Service Projects
August 2026 – Domestic Violence Shelter
In August, we collected money to provide support for clients of Domestic Violence Shelter. For four decades, Domestic Violence Shelter and Services, Inc. has been a safe haven for survivors and their children. Their mission is to provide comprehensive support, advocacy, and resources to help individuals heal, regain independence, and thrive in safe environments. With the donations we collected, we purchased twenty six $25 gift cards for clients who were in immediate need. We are grateful for the work of this important organization and are pleased to be able to partner with them to provide support.
July 2026 – Vigilant Hope
In July, Soul Center’s service project helped support Vigilant Hope, an organization whose work with those experiencing homelessness we value greatly. Because it’s summertime, there are basic needs we can help with. Our shopping list included men’s underwear, disposable razors, body wipes, bug spray. We are grateful to serve this community.
May 2026 – Kids Making It
Our May Project was created to help Kids Making It. This after school apprentice program teaches woodworking and other life skills to teens after school and also in an apprentice setting. We collected a range of materials to support this work– e.g. new and used hand tools, general craft supplies, cleaning supplies, wood glue, etc. We are honored to be even a small part of this exciting program for young people.
April 2026 – Cape Fear Literacy Council
In April, we collected lots and lots of books to support the Cape Fear Literacy Council. Donated books are sold online and all proceeds go to CFLC. This non-profit provides free, personalized literacy and language education so adults can transform their lives and contribute to a stronger community.
March 2026 – Peak Resources
In March, Soul Center created a two-part project to benefit Peak Resources, a North Carolina family-owned company with a mission to serve the nursing and rehabilitation needs of the community. Longer term residents often have few family visitors and limited access to personal care items. We wanted to step up and make them feel cared for and seen.
On Sunday, March 29th, we collected personal care items like lotion, toothbrushes and toothpaste, chapstick and Vaseline, and tissues. The next day, we delivered those donations and stayed to socialize with residents, coloring mandalas while we listened to music. Such a good day.
January 2026 – A Safe Place
In January, 2026, we collected new and gently used warm women’s clothing (coats/jackets/sweaters, hats and gloves, etc.) to support A Safe Place. This organization supports survivors and those vulnerable to sex trafficking and exploitation through empowerment opportunities, relationship building and fostering community change.

The recipients of those project were: Soles4Soles, Vigilant Hope, the Cape Fear Area Honor Flight Operation Mail Call, Kids Making It, Nourish NC, St. Jude Community Church Feeding Program, Meals on Wheels, and the Bus Pass Program for those in our community experiencing homelessness.
