The Facts of Life Outreach Community Based Programs was born from a deep well of compassion and a fervent belief in the transformative power of faith and love that all started with my parents. Growing up, I witnessed the incredible impact that a community could have when they came together to support one another in times of need.
 
My parents always told me and my siblings that we were all a part of something much greater than ourselves. We were part of a divine plan, and our duty was to serve, to love, and to uplift those who were struggling. I watched as my parents hosted people in our home, feeding people every week to make sure they had enough to eat. Following my parents’ words and actions, the vision for the Facts of Life Outreach Community Based Programs was born. 
 
We have a commitment to providing access to food for the vulnerable populations like our seniors, homeless and other marginalized communities. We’ve formed partnerships with businesses and organizations like USDA Feed America and the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, resulting in vital support for thousands facing food insecurity. With the help of over 30 volunteers, we provide weekly prepared meals at our church in Whiteville, NC. We feed over 2000 people per week. In addition, we provide backpacks for the homeless that include groceries, personal hygiene products and other necessities. In order to continue to serve more of our community, we distribute food boxes at our 2nd location in Tabor City weekly to meet the needs of those living on the other side of Columbus county. 

As we move forward on this incredible journey, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our family, volunteers, and partners for being a part of this extraordinary mission.
