❤️ Sometimes, a few words say it all.

“RCS, you guys are amazing. Thanks for being so good to me.”

This handwritten note was recently left by someone who once stayed in our shelter — and who now gives her time back to RCS as a volunteer.

We could tell you about the meals served, the groceries distributed, the shelter nights provided and the people we've helped.

But sometimes, this is the reminder we need most:

**What we do matters.**

To the person who needs a safe place.
To the family who needs groceries.
To the neighbor who needs a little help getting through a difficult season.
And sometimes, to the person who comes back later and helps someone else.

Thank you for this note. And thank you for reminding our team why we do what we do. ❤️

🚐 Operation Outpost is Headed to Havelock This Week!

This week, RCS is bringing its mobile food distribution to Havelock, helping make nutritious food more accessible to our neighbors right where they are.

Operation Outpost brings fresh and shelf-stable food directly into communities across Craven & Pamlico counties — because sometimes getting to the food pantry isn't easy. We believe food assistance should be accessible, convenient and available to the people who need it.

📍 Havelock: iBelieve Thrive
📅 Wednesday, September 2nd at 5:30
📌 103 Methodist Drive, Havelock

Know someone who could use a little extra help this week? Share this post and help us spread the word. ❤️

RCS is on the road — bringing food where it's needed most.

Take a step. Make a difference. Help end hunger.

Join us for the 2026 New Bern Area CROP Hunger Walk on the last Sunday in September and help us fight hunger—one step at a time.

Whether you’ve participated for years or this will be your first CROP Hunger Walk, we’d love to have you with us. Gather your family, friends, coworkers, church, or community group and register today.

And there’s a little friendly competition, too! The Golden Sneaker Award is presented to the group with the most first-time walkers. Pictured are last year’s Golden Sneaker winners. Who will take home the Golden Sneaker in 2026?

Even better, sponsorships cover the costs of the event, so every dollar raised goes directly toward fighting food insecurity—right here at home through RCS and around the world through Church World Service.

Every walker matters. Every dollar matters. Every step brings us closer to a community—and a world—without hunger.

Register TODAY: https://events.crophungerwalk.org/chw/event/newbernnc

Sometimes, a community service requirement turns into something much more.

At RCS, we believe our community is strengthened when people are given opportunities to contribute, learn, grow, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

Recently, one of our community members who has spent time serving alongside us reached out for character references as they pursue a new employment opportunity.

And our answer was an easy one: yes.

Because RCS is more than a place to complete community service hours. It’s a place where people become part of a community. Where relationships are built. Where contributions matter. Where people are encouraged and, sometimes, reminded of their own potential.

We were proud to speak to this individual's character—not simply because of the hours they completed, but because of the person we’ve gotten to know through their time with us.

We believe in second chances. We believe in meaningful opportunities. And we believe that when people are given the chance to contribute, they can make a difference.

Sometimes, serving others changes more than the people being served. ❤️
