Thanks for making our MLK Volunteer Day for Haiti a huge success!

On January 18th, AFSC's Greensboro office held a volunteer day to make disaster relief kits for Haiti. Thanks to the enormous turnout we had, it was a huge success! We were covered by many news outlets, some of which are linked below.

We made nearly twice as many kits as we expected for Haiti -- final count is 97 -- and also produced over 70 kits for local use. We think this is a great way to demonstrate the way that issues of poverty and economic justice cross borders, and affect us here in the Triad.

Because of the prohibitive cost of shipping, we are asking that anyone still wishing to donate kits (or materials for kits) send them directly to our Miami office.

Program Initiatives

Immigrant Rights

The NC Immigrant Rights program is guided by the Quaker belief in the infinite worth of all people. AFSC supports the rights and dignity of all people, regardless of their legal status.

Friends Humanitarian Response Program

Based out of our High Point office, the FHRP (formerly EMAP) is the American Friends Service Committee's longest continuously-run program. The main goal of the program is to provide emergency relief kits, and we are always accepting donations of blankets, gloves, toothpaste, backpacks, and other necessities.

Peace Building & Economic Justice

The Carolinas Peace and Economic Justice program is a community education and peace building program which builds alliances and support networks to create strategic links engaging those working for peace and alternatives to war and violence.
