NCSSO, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and charitable organization whose purpose and mission is to serve the underprivileged, vulnerable and impoverished in our society. Based on the tenets of “LOVE ALL – SERVE ALL” and “HELP EVER – HURT NEVER,” we provide free medical and dental services, meals and clothing (among other types of assistance) to benefit the members of our community who are most in need. The organization strives to promote spiritual growth by supporting programs tolerant of all faiths and religions. NCSSO, Inc. also supports opportunities for spiritual education for youth, instilling in them the values and importance of service to others and love of all regardless of ethnic or religious background. We also partner with like-minded charitable organizations who share our mission in order to amplify the beneficial impact we can have on our community.

With hearts full of gratitude, we are happy to announce that our goal of $20,000 has been surpassed! With your generosity, NCSSO was able to raise $25,000, including matching funds. These funds have been given to the Food Bank of Eastern North Carolina and Interfaith Food Shuttle.  We are able to provide for 123,000+ meals to the people facing food insecurity. Thank you for everyone who supported us and being an example and inspiring us.

Disaster Relief

In September 2019, category 5 hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas leaving tens of thousands without shelter or power. In affiliation with the Sathya Sai International Organization, NCSSO purchased tarps, sleeping bags and food for victims of the storm. Many families lost all their possessions. To make Christmas brighter and more joyful for affected children, NCSSO purchased toys for children of all ages so they could be delivered in time for Christmas.
