FOUR-COUNTY COMMUNITY SERVICES, INC.

"Helping People Help Themselves Since 1964"

 History   

 Four-County Community Services was incorporated on

 June 10,1964, with its stated purposes, “… to do all

 things necessary or proper to aid in improving the

 education, economic opportunities, living environment

 and general welfare of the people ... ; to study problems

 involved in improving education, economic opportunities,

 living environment and general welfare; … to make and

 recommend programs or projects or activities … toward 

 the solution of such problems … for people of all ages 

 CSBG

 living in Richmond, Robeson, and Scotland Counties.” Over the years we have grown from those

 original three counties to seven, having dropped Richmond and added Bladen, Brunswick,

 Columbus, Hoke, and Pender Counties. For several years, we served eight counties by providing

 Weatherization services to New Hanover County until they secured a local operator. We continue

 to help the disadvantaged in our area to overcome barriers and move above poverty to a more

 comfortable station in life. To accomplish this goal, we have operated many programs over the

 years that have been designed by a collaboration among the people we serve, our staff, our Board

 of Directors, and other entities within each community.

 Four County Community Services was one of the first community action agencies in North Carolina 

 and was nurtured under the caring leadership of O.L. Moore, Jr. Over the last 45 years, our

 population has changed as our world has changed. Four County has been there through wars,

 economic recessions, and societal changes. We currently serve 1,058 children and their families

 each year in our 16 Head Start facilities. We also serve 345 or more families each year through our

 Community Services Block Grant Family Empowerment Self-Sufficiency project. More than 300

 families receive Weatherization Assistance Program services, many of whom also receive

 assistance through the Heating Appliance Repair/Replacement Project. In Scotland County only, m

 ore than 420 families live in standard housing because of our Section 8 Housing Assistance

 Program. We also operate the USDA Commodities project in Columbus County and assist with

 commodities distribution in Bladen County. Our history lives on in the work we do each day to help

 people help themselves out of poverty.
