For almost 30 years, Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care has been providing emergency assistance to struggling families in Moore County. Founded in 1986 by twelve local churches, today the Coalition is led by Executive Director, Barrett Walker and receives support from individuals, businesses, and groups throughout the community.

Listen to the podcast below to learn about the services the Coalition provides and dispel some common misconceptions about the organization.

Executive Director Barrett Walker discusses the rich history of The Coalition Resale Shops’ location on Pennsylvania Avenue as well as the
integral function they serve in fulfilling the Coalition’s mission. Barrett walks listeners through the referral and job counseling services the
Coalition provides as well as providing basic needs such as food clothing. Learn about the Coalition’s community events such as the Empty Bowls fundraiser on Feb. 21st, the new initiative of a Work Uniform Assistance Program, Shoes for Students and the Pack the Pickup Food Drive. Volunteers are obviously the heart of the Coalition and Barrett explains the many ways each of us can get involved to help the less fortunate in our community this holiday season.

Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care provides emergency food, clothing and financial assistance to residents of Moore County, NC. For more information visit their website at www.sandhillscoalition.org or call (910) 693-1600.
