Interview with the First Director of FPCC, Joan Cantor
This year Family Promise of Carteret County (FPCC) is celebrating our 10th Anniversary! In recognition, we sat down with former Executive Director Joan Cantor, who established our FPCC non-profit 10 years ago.
We talk about the struggles that inspired this much needed initiative in Carteret County, and how Mrs. Cantor learned about the Family Promise National organization. Cantor recounts the first of many lives that have been touched by our program.

Volunteer Spotlight
Patricia Pate, known in the office as “Miss Pat”, is our volunteer of the month! Miss Pat handles everything with warmth and grace, no matter the chaos around her. In the grip of a pandemic lockdown, she has been here helping to keep the lights on, so to speak.
Miss Pat answers the phone, takes applications, reads to our children, cleans, organizes, drives guests to appointments, and anything else she can offer. She is generous in every way. She is admired by everyone that meets her and FPCC is a welcoming, safe place because of her kindness to everyone she meets.
We also hope she knows just how incredibly grateful the staff is for her weekly Bojangles delivery.
Volunteers Welcome!
As the COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end we are going to need Volunteers to help in many ways, from answering the phones and helping with light paperwork, to reading with our kids and talking with our parents, the list is endless. With the reopening of businesses and the end of the eviction moratorium, we know FPCC is going to be very busy very soon. Whether you would like to volunteer as an individual helping our families, assisting with our Outreach program, and helping in the office, or creating a group to help with lawn maintenance, family activities, and more, now is the time.
We need YOU! Through our Volunteers and our local churches, we are building our community and strengthening lives.
Please contact us at 252-222-0019, or send an email to contact(at)familypromisecarteret.org to start helping “the least of these”.
