Basic Needs Services

At Basic Needs Services in Knightdale, NC, we are dedicated to addressing the vital survival and safety needs of women and children experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. As the only day shelter for women and families in Wake County, we provide a safe haven during the day where individuals can escape harsh weather and find support. Our comprehensive services include emergency food assistance, nutritional programs, access to transportation, personal hygiene products, clothing, and direct financial aid. We also assist with essential tasks such as obtaining identification cards and providing mail and message services, which are crucial for connecting with additional community resources. By offering these basic needs, we also aim to guide participants toward further support, including housing assistance and recovery programs for substance abuse and mental health treatment.
