Ways to Give

OBX Room In The Inn is in the midst of helping those hit the hardest on the Outer Banks by providing food, shelter, and clothing. Last year, your contributions helped provide 2,164 overnight stays and 6,492 meals to those in need. Your generous donation, no matter the size, will go a long way in helping us continue our work. Mail to our offices or give online. Please consider a monthly recurring gift to help us secure our future in providing for those less fortunate.

Your giving will make a lasting impression on the lives of those who depend on the OBX Room In The Inn. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of those in need.

In-Kind Giving

While we would love to accept every donation, our space is limited, but nothing goes to waste. We donate anything we cannot use or over stocked to other nonprofits in need. We are currently accepting the following items:

  • Men‘s and Women’s clothing (especially cool weather items like sweatpants), all sizes, shoes, socks, and undergarments
  • Books for our library, education, and training
  • No contract phones and service cards
  • Treat items and gift cards. Do you remember how you would feel when your Mom put something special in your lunchbox? Adults fun love surprises, too. Wrapped holiday gifts are welcome.
  • Nonperishable grocery items and pop-top cans or pre-paid Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Publix, Dollar Tree, Target, or Walmart cards. Please call the office to find out our current needs.
  • Please call the office to donate new or gently used office furniture
  • Personal hygiene items (toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant, soap)
