SoSA is a grassroots, faith-based, hunger relief nonprofit working with all denominations to bridge the hunger gap between 96 billion pounds of food wasted every year in the United States and the nearly 40 million Americans who live in poverty.

BUMP: The Triangle

BUMP's mission is to foster excellence and agency in youth using the cultural assets of African diasporic music. We offer youth enrichment programming, instrumental and vocal ensembles that build musical proficiency, cultural knowledge, heritage knowledge, and resilience. We believe that youth must develop the capacity to act independently of adults and be trusted to make choices in how they express their creativity. This allows youth to experience autonomy and purpose. This results in authentic mastery of musical skills and the ingenuity that will create the world's future art forms and solve its most challenging problems.

L’Arche North Carolina is a community discerning a place in the piedmont region of North Carolina. We are called into mutual relationship, a sign of peace made known through those with and without intellectual disabilities, who share the rhythms of daily life. L’Arche is a federation of communities throughout the world where people with and without intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) live together. L’Arche builds households where people with IDD become the center of our lives as we embody God’s love for all of us. In L’Arche we nurture the spiritualities of people from all faith traditions or from no particular faith tradition at all. All of us, whether or not we live with IDDs, desire a sense of belonging: to develop friendships and participate in religious life, to engage in meaningful work, and make meals.
