Urban Ministries of Wake working to meet unprecedented needs

Public Allies North Carolina Alum Nick Robertson is stepping into action to meet the community's need during the COVID-19 crisis

“We serve roughly 50 people a day, and through everything that’s going on right now, that is up to maybe about 70 people a day and probably more sometimes,” said Nick Robertson, who works at Urban Ministries of Wake County. Under normal circumstances, clients using Urban Ministries of Wake are screened to confirm identity and residency in Wake County and clients could only get a food pickup every 90 or 30 days depending on age.
