Resources
You are not alone
Some needs we are not able to meet directly. We never want you to leave without somewhere to turn.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
At Room At The Inn, we wish we could meet every need that comes to our door. Our ministry is focused on housing and support for pregnant women and their children, so there are times when the best thing we can do is point you toward someone who can help right away.
The organizations below serve Guilford County and the surrounding area. If you are not sure where to start, dial 2-1-1.
