Did you know since 2018, through this fund, more than $500,000 has been provided to assist families facing emergencies right here in Carteret County? These stories often go untold to protect the dignity of those we help, but the need is growing—and it’s urgent. This winter alone, we’ve seen more families struggling to keep their homes warm or avoid displacement while they work toward stability.

Every week, the Carteret County Public School Foundation steps in to help students and teachers facing some of life’s toughest moments. It could be paying an overdue electricity bill to keep the heat on, providing gas cards for medical appointments, covering emergency dental care, or securing a hotel for a family with nowhere to go, our Crisis Assistance Fund is there when it’s needed most.

Your gift to the Crisis Assistance Fund isn’t just a donation—it’s a lifeline. It’s warmth for a child on a cold night, a roof over a family’s head, and a community rallying together in love and support. Every dollar makes an immediate impact, giving hope to those who need it most.

Together, we can make sure no student or teacher has to face a crisis alone. Thank you for being the difference.
