It’s Volunteer Appreciation Month! We want to take a moment to shine a light on the incredible JCF champions who bring the Jimmy Carroll Foundation's mission to life.

Your time, energy, and kindness make all the difference—whether you’re organizing an event, lending a helping hand, or swinging a golf club! Thank you for showing up, serving with heart, and carrying forward Jimmy’s legacy of compassion and service.

We are back at one of our favorite places, serving dinner to the sweet women of HWC. This time it will be a baked potato bar with all the yummy fixings. No complicated cooking - just filling, satisfying food. 

Leadership Triangle Cohort Panel Discussion

JCF's Executive Director, Jennifer Hamilton, recently participated in a Leadership Triangle cohort panel on housing. Pictured with Jennifer are Delores Bailey, Executive Director, EMPOWERment Inc., Erin Yates, Permanent Housing & Supportive Services Division Director, Wake County Government, and Drew Helm, Executive Director, Haven Design Build. We also had the pleasure of bumping into the Cause Collaborative leadership team at AJ Fletcher's Happy Hour! It is wonderful to be a part of this community and see all the amazing things happening in Raleigh and the Triangle.

Clayton Rotary Club

Jennifer Hamilton, JCF Executive Director, was invited to speak to the Clayton Rotary Club, where she discussed the issues impacting homelessness and JCF’s efforts to support our community partners. It's always a pleasure to share JCF's mission and all that we do in the community with amazing organizations like Clayton Rotary. Reach out to us if you'd like us to come speak to your organization!

A Place at the Table

JCF's Executive Director, Jennifer Hamilton, volunteered with our partner, A Place at the Table Raleigh, and was on dish duty for the first time! To keep the Table fun going, Jennifer also attended a Mission Triangle small group on collective action that same day, and Maggie Kane, Founder and Executive Director of Table, was one of the panelists! It was great to be hands-on and ALL IN with one of our partners last week!

Civic Voices

JCF was a proud sponsor of the first Leadership Triangle Civic Voices workshop last week. During this workshop, participants explored how the NC Legislature works, what nonprofits can (and can’t) do regarding advocacy and lobbying, and how to have courageous conversations that move policy forward. We are grateful to all those involved who are working to improve our city and address the changes that need to be made. Click here to see a video about the event!

At JCF, we try to turn big, overwhelming issues—like homelessness—into simple, faithful action: one next step at a time. You don’t have to solve everything; you just have to “make a move” toward one person, one partnership, one act of care.

We invite you to step into JCF's mission, trusting that consistent, small steps will add up to real change.
