The Ministering Circle awards grants annually of over $100,000 to local nonprofits providing humanitarian and wellness services in the Cape Fear region. We have also awarded a half-million dollars in endowments and scholarships to the nursing programs at UNCW and Cape Fear Community College.

There aren’t many volunteer organizations that can look back on a record of more than a century of continuous service to the health and wellness of their community, but such is the history of The Ministering Circle. Throughout several generations, our non-denominational group of 50 women has worked tirelessly to attain its goal of serving our beloved neighbors.

Fundraising through our Annual Raffle, our famous Red Apron Gourmet Food Sale and the sales of The Ministering Circle cookbook Favorite Recipes of the Lower Cape Fear, along with gifts, legacies, and memorials to loved ones, supports wonderful and benevolent projects and programs, that serve the Cape Fear region.
