Wilmington Support Resources

Public Health's Guide to Pivots & Possibilities

The organizations listed below provide resources directly to the public, and the list is intended to provide people with info on where to get what they need beyond what is listed here. The list does not include the many local provider organizations that partner with schools or churches to supply resources, since people in need can not get to those services directly. A list of provider organizations can be found at the bottom of the page, and those organizations may be a great starting point for people looking to donate specific items.
