About Fayetteville Cares

Empowering Change,
Restoring Hope

Creating a place where every person is known and valued and where life change is celebrated.

We exist to become a hub for connecting individuals and families who are at risk of, or are experiencing homelessness, to coordinated and compassionate services that help create a path to stable housing and hope.

Our Story

Founded with the belief that no one should face homelessness alone, Fayetteville Cares, formerly know as the Fayetteville Day Resource Center, was established to provide a comprehensive support system for individuals and families in need. Our organization serves as a resource center where professional services and nonprofits come together to offer coordinated assistance, addressing both immediate and long-term needs.

Fayetteville Cares exists to bridge the gap for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness. By offering essential services such as hot showers, laundry, meals, and access to healthcare, we strive to meet the basic needs of our guests while also providing the tools and support they need to achieve stability and self-sufficiency. Our dedicated team and community partners work tirelessly to ensure that every person who walks through our doors is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.

Our primary focus is on individuals and families who are struggling with homelessness or are at risk of losing their homes. Through personalized case management, we identify the unique needs of each guest and connect them with the appropriate resources and services. Our holistic approach ensures that we not only address the immediate crisis but also provide ongoing support to help our guests build a brighter future.
