Our Mission

"Christian Love in Action"

The purpose of Eagle's Wings is to minister to Beaufort County residents. We do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, or political beliefs. Our hope is to alleviate the immediate hunger needs of the impoverished and homeless in Beaufort County, which is a tier one county in North Carolina. Under the current tier formula, a county’s status is determined by its unemployment rate, median household income, and percentage of population growth. Tier one counties are the poorest in the rankings. Beaufort County has about 46,000 residents and a poverty rate of 16.6% (2007 US Census Bureau estimate).

Eagle’s Wings provides food to the impoverished in Beaufort County. We are the largest food pantry in the county, and we provide assistance each week to the people in the area. We also distribute fresh vegetables which have been gleaned from fields across the state.

Applicants are required to bring income and expenditure records to our caseworkers. Additionally, counseling is provided in areas of money management and budget preparation. We feel strongly it is essential for our clients to see where their money is going.

Families may come to Eagle’s Wings for food once a month.
