The Outer Banks Relief Foundation was created in 2005 to ensure that no local family would have to face both a devastating diagnosis and financial ruin.
Today, the Foundation helps about 150 households each year, easing the burden of everyday bills during times of serious illness or personal tragedy. We make direct payments—ranging from $1,000 to $5,000—to mortgage companies, landlords, utility providers, and auto lenders, helping ensure our neighbors’ basic needs are covered while they focus on healing and recovery.

Our beneficiaries face a wide range of challenges, from cancer and spinal injuries to organ transplants and house fires.
We work hand in hand with local nonprofits, churches, and national organizations to maximize impact and ensure that families in crisis receive the care and resources they need.
