Our Mission

Christian Community In Action's mission is "To provide any resident of the service area who meets the necessary criteria with emergency assistance for their essential human needs, including, but not limited to, shelter, fuel, utilities, clothing and food."

CCA exists to help our local neighbors who face immediate crisis. Founded on Matthew 25:31-45, volunteers carry out Christ's command to love our neighbors.

Our geographic focus is Cary, Morrisville, Apex, Holly Springs, Friendship and New Hill. The CCA counterpart in Apex is "Western Wake Crisis Ministry." CCA is working with groups in Fuquay-Varina to strengthen services available there and people in that area of Wake County were served by a local crisis ministry.

Learn more about the CCA mission and activities on our About CCA page. To find out about related organizations with which we partner, refer to our Partners page.

Food Pantry Needs

One aspect of our outreach depends on a well-stocked food pantry. To help keep all the needed items in stock, consider giving any of the items listed in the Food Pantry Needs list.

Help Others by Shopping

You may already know that donating to the Dorcas Thrift Shop clothing and household items you no longer need provides the items for resale that are the key to meeting the CCA budget each year. What you may not know is that you also help meet that budget when you shop at the Dorcas Thrift Shop. Although our church partners provide a portion of our funding, the bulk of our income comes through the sale of items in the Dorcas Thrift Shop. Donations are tax deductible. So feel free to shop!
