“The Help Hub at the Harrelson Center.

There is an understanding in America that people of a community are better suited to assist those in their community more effectively and efficiently than any government entity or agency. While I the truth is we need all of it to be there for those who find themselves in times of need, I am so glad that places like the Help Hub at the Harrelson center exist.

The Help Hub staff are professional even if only voluntarily so. They are compassionate, passionate and conscious. After the passing of our Mother and Father I found myself in a situation where I was without running water in my home. I found the Help Hub and was glad to know that they existed and had the capability to offer meaningful help for our family to help us solve our water billing issue with CFPUA. They met with me several times to discuss assistance options and pledged a meaningful amount towards our water bill left by our deceased father. Although due to CFPUA policy, water was never able to be restored to our home, I am so grateful for the people at the Help Hub simply knowing that places like this exist where people can get assistance for needs that are essential to life such as water, electricity, food instability, temporary transportation, and other resources.

I personally sat in their waiting room observing and listening to the stories of others in their time of need and one thing became clear. Places like the Help Hub at Harrelson Center are incredibly important and must continue to be supported by the communities they serve. Government assistance has its place, but it is always people in the communities served by organizations and governments alike that perform the real work, and it is for that reason that I strongly advocate for contributing to the Help Hub or any other community support organizations and do support them by any means that I am able. Just because I could not utilize their assistance at that time does not mean I could not recognize their incredible value in just knowing they are there for those who most need it.”

“I had a great experience at the Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity ReStore. This place is a hidden gem if you enjoy browsing for unique finds while supporting a meaningful cause.
The store has a constantly changing selection of furniture, home goods, appliances, and building materials—so every visit feels like a bit of a treasure hunt. You can find everything from lightly used items to brand-new pieces at prices that are often well below retail.

What really stands out is the mission behind it. Knowing that purchases help fund affordable housing in the local community makes shopping here feel even more worthwhile.

The staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful, and the store itself was well organized compared to many thrift-style shops. Whether you’re working on a home project, furnishing a space on a budget, or just enjoy browsing, it’s definitely worth a stop.

Pro tip: inventory changes frequently, so check back often—you never know what you’ll find.”

“This Church at this location has great leadership - Major Ken Morris and Major Connie Morris and all who attend are very nice and welcoming.
It would be nice to see more family's and youth in this Church and yes there is a youth program. So if you have the time whether you live in the area or just visiting. This is a great Church to attend. Come alone, or come with some one, bring a friend, or an entire family. There is room for all.

The Salvation Army is a Protestant Christian church, believing in the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), Jesus' divinity and atonement, and the Bible as God's inspired word, emphasizing salvation through repentance and faith. Their mission, rooted in the love of God, is to preach the Gospel and meet human needs without discrimination, famously translating faith into action through service, but they don't practice traditional sacraments like baptism or communion as essential for salvation, focusing instead on spiritual regeneration and practical charity.”

“I am a 49-year-old male. My experience with The Good Shepherd, was similar to the caring of a loving mother. That’s there with a Band-Aid when you fall. Also, as a loving father, that will pick you up. To help get you back on your feet. And let’s not forget that wonderful kitchen staff and crew. That the food is not just edible. But I feel it was made with care. In a nutshell, If you have the determination to get back on your feet. Then allow a The Good Shepherd, staff, and crew to help. ( Have a peaceful and safe life. )”

We brought home 4 paintings and a sweater for about $30. I’d say it was a good time.”

“Small selection, shirts are over $4 each, which seems a bit steep for a Goodwill.

My biggest question is, why is there no music playing?!!

Nice employees, though.”
