SHIP Community Outreach

• When was your nonprofit established?

  2010

• What are you just bursting to share about your nonprofit?

  We are very excited about the growth and what's next! We want to duplicate Ship Outreach in other cities to maximize impact. We also want to grow our youth ministry, Ship Leadership Academy, and expand our housing. We will expand our partner resources in the areas of mental health, Wake County housing vouchers, Southlight drug treatment, and recovery services.

• Tell us about your logo or how your nonprofit's name originated?

  The ship came from the church our founder pastored, Ship of Zion. "If you want to see Jesus, get on board the Ship."

• How does your nonprofit care for the unhoused?

  We provide shared housing, clothing, food, and employment opportunities.

• What is your favorite fact or statistic regarding your nonprofit's work?

  Through a coordinated partnership with Pepperidge Farms, we distribute 40,000 loaves of bread monthly! The bread is given to more than 30 different organizations across the triangle area. Some of these organizations come to Ship and pick up what has been staged for their ministries. We are grateful for this opportunity to fill gaps in people’s lives through nourishment.
