Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care

What Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care does

Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization founded in 1986 in Southern Pines, North Carolina, and operating exclusively within Moore County. The organization delivers food assistance, emergency financial aid (rent and utilities), clothing and household goods, back-to-school support, and seasonal holiday assistance to households experiencing financial hardship. All client services are provided free of charge, walk-in, and without appointment at two locations in Southern Pines and Robbins.

The Coalition's operating model is built on a covenant network of 64 churches that supply volunteers, in-kind donations, and monetary support, together with a four-shop resale campus in Southern Pines that processes more than 30,000 bags and boxes of donated goods annually and converts resale proceeds directly into program funding. No proprietary technology platform underpins operations; service delivery, donation intake, and client intake are volunteer-staffed across the network. The organization reports serving approximately 4,500 families per year and runs recurring fundraising and awareness events such as the Shag Dance, Hunger Walk, Coalition Christmas, and the Back-to-School program.

Revenue and funding come from individual and church donations, grants (including United Way), in-kind contributions, and resale shop proceeds. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with day-to-day management handled by an Executive Director and a 1-10 person staff. Strategic direction is signaled by the planned 2027 launch of Step Up Moore County, a workforce development program that would extend the mission from emergency relief into longer-term economic stability programming, and by a partnership network spanning the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC, Moore Free Clinic, St. Joseph's Dental Program, and Family Promise.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Crisis Assistance Ministry: Charlotte-based nonprofit providing emergency rent/utility assistance, food, clothing, and household goods to families in financial crisis. Operates a similar thrift-store funding model and comparable integrated services, making it a strong operational peer in a different NC metro.
• Inter-Faith Food Shuttle: Raleigh/Triangle-area food assistance and hunger-relief nonprofit combining a food pantry model with mobile food distribution, nutrition education, and workforce development programs. Comparable food-first mission with adjacent workforce pathways, mirroring the Coalition's planned Step Up Moore County expansion.
• Urban Ministries of Durham: Durham-based community services nonprofit providing food, clothing, emergency rent/utility assistance, and case management. Operates a similar integrated services model with walk-in client services and a community-supported funding base—directly comparable structure to the Coalition on a different NC geography.
• Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina: Regional food bank and direct partner of the Coalition. Both organizations provide food assistance to households experiencing food insecurity across North Carolina, including wholesale food distribution to partner pantries and direct client services. Comparable mission, comparable funding model (donations + grants), and overlapping geography.
• Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Raleigh: Faith-based social services provider operating across central and eastern North Carolina. Offers food assistance, emergency financial aid, clothing, and refugee/immigrant services through parish networks—directly comparable faith-coalition structure, service mix, and donor base to the Coalition.
• United Way of Moore County: Local United Way affiliate and direct funding partner of the Coalition. Operates in the same Moore County geography, raises and distributes funds to local human services, and coordinates a similar coalition of community organizations addressing basic needs, financial stability, and emergency assistance.
• Family Promise of Moore County: National faith-based homelessness prevention network with a Moore County affiliate and direct Coalition partner. Both serve families facing housing insecurity through coordinated volunteer congregations and direct financial assistance for rent and utilities. Highly comparable faith-coalition model and target population.

Emerging players

• Goodwill Industries of the Piedmont Triad: Mission-driven nonprofit operating thrift retail stores whose proceeds fund workforce development, job training, and community programs. Comparable in the resale-shop-as-funding-engine model and adjacent workforce development mission, but operates at much larger scale across multiple counties.

Regional players

• MANNA FoodBank: Regional food bank serving 16 counties of western North Carolina including food distribution to partner pantries and direct hunger-relief programming. Comparable mission and donor-funded model but at much larger scale and broader regional footprint than the Coalition's single-county focus.

Broad incumbents

• Salvation Army of the Carolinas: National faith-based social services organization with local commands across North Carolina providing food, rent/utility assistance, clothing, and emergency disaster relief. Highly comparable service mix and faith-based funding model, but at substantially larger scale and geographic breadth than the Coalition.
