Carolina Cross Connection is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to providing home repairs to families in need, free of charge. In order to do this, we rely on donations from individuals, businesses, organizations, and churches.You can make a donation to Carolina Cross Connection in a number of different ways, for a number of different needs. No donation is too small or large; every bit helps! Donations do much more than keep CCC operating; they can provide directly for families in need, help keep camper costs low so that more people may attend, and more. We hope YOU will consider contributing to the ministry of Carolina Cross Connection. Here are some specific areas of need:
- Lumber, paint, fasteners, and other materials used on CCC worksites are always in high demand. We are grateful for the donation of these materials or for the money to pay for them.
- Our summer staff are required to raise approximately half of their salary. Download the Staff Partnership Form to make a contribution towards a staff member's partnerships for the coming summer.
- For many years, groups have been required to bring tools with them to camp. This can often be a large burden for some churches, and has perhaps hindered some from participating. To encourage more churches to participate and to relieve some of the strain of getting prepared to attend, CCC is currently work towards a "No Tools Required" policy. Safe, functional tools (or money to purchase them) are a big blessing for the ministry and for groups that want to participate.
- Our summer staff need vehicles that can be used during their preparation time between camp weeks, setting up projects, acquiring materials, and visiting people in the community. We are always in need of both (A) compact vehicles with good gas mileage and (B) larger delivery vehicles capable of hauling lumber and other building materials.
- We, of course, accept donations that are undesignated. These moneys received will enter into our "general fund," and will be distributed to areas of greatest need.
In return for your contribution, you will receive the joy and satisfaction of knowing that you have helped CCC provide for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of needy families in western North Carolina. All donations, whether physical or monetary, are tax-deductible. Finally, you will receive a subscription to "The Link," the CCC Newsletter.
You may also consider giving in honor or in memory of a friend or family member. This is a great alterative to traditional gift-giving for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, anniversaries, etc. We will send a card notifying the recipient or family of your gift.
