Mission: Rowan Helping Ministries is a continuation of Rowan Cooperative Christian Ministry, a ministry begun in 1967 by several of Salisbury's downtown churches. Our programs include: Homeless Shelter Services, Jeannie's Kitchen, Clothing Center, Food Pantry, Crisis Assistance Network, Transitional & Permanent Supportive Housing Programs, Rowan Helping Ministries-West, Rowan Helping Ministries-East, New Tomorrows and Food for Thought. We have a full-time staff of thirty and a part-time staff of fourteen. We rely on 50-60 volunteers daily, and without them, Rowan Helping Ministries wouldn't be possible.
The mission of Rowan Helping Ministries is to serve through cooperative community action, our neighbors in Rowan County who are in crisis, by providing essential life needs and educating and empowering them to break the cycle of crisis.

Rowan Helping Ministries is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1988, and donations are tax-deductible.
