WHO WE ARE

Garner Area Ministries was incorporated in 1981 by a group of local churches who wanted to do more to help their neighbors. Our purpose is to serve as a central location as a resource for people going through a financial crisis, who can not afford to pay rent, utilities and/or prescription medications. We can also help with clothes for family members.

Our organization is made mostly up of volunteers who want to make a difference for their neighbors. We serve all who need help in the Garner area, regardless of race, religion, citizen status or sexual orientation.

We have grown a lot since 1981 and we plan to continue to grow and hope to help more families each month.

HOW WE SERVE

We accept donations from our local community in the form of money, food or resellable items for the thrift store.

In 2018 we raised $96,000 in donations, which together with thrift store sales, allowed us to pay a little more than $133,000 in bills, plus feed a thousand people and provide clothing for 550.

WHY WE SERVE

On average, we help around 300 families each month. GAM is a non-profit organization and believe we can help others in need by providing assistance and resources.
