November 21st is Care to Share Day!
OWASA's Care to Share customer assistance program supports 200 families annually, ensuring they continue to have water when times are tough. Administered by the Inter-Faith Council (IFC) for Social Service, IFC supports people who live or work in Carrboro or Chapel Hill, and seek financial assistance because they experience chronic poverty or financial crisis. Learn more about IFC and Care to Share Day.
This Thanksgiving, let's give water
Thankful for what we have, let’s raise funds together to ensure local families unable to pay their water bill are not without this vital resource. Every dollar donated to Care to Share supports neighbors in Carrboro and Chapel Hill in need. See more about Care to Share and ways to give at CaretoShareDay.org!
Finding community with Care to Share and IFC
A friendly woman in her 50s is a frequent visitor to the IFC Food Pantry, often stopping in for no other reason than to catch up with folks in the community. She is the permanent caregiver for her older child who has disabilities that prevent her from living independently. Meeting her family's basic needs in Carrboro is a constant challenge. Support from IFC, including Care to Share to assist with a water bill, has helped her and her daughters. Read more stories about the Care to Share community.
