At Greater Hickory Cooperative Ministry (GHCCM), we have been the Hickory, North Carolina area’s hub for helping families in crisis, those living in poverty, and those experiencing homelessness since 1969. Today, we remain a faith-based, volunteer-driven organization that provides a wide range of programs, services, and solutions. 

Some immediate needs we can help with include helping with a past-due electric bill, providing financial assistance in the face of eviction, or providing a blanket or backpack for personal belongings. After helping with immediate needs, we begin creating an individualized Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP). This life, health, and wellness assessment identifies a variety of issues, such as health problems, disability, education, physical or emotional abuse, substance abuse, faith and spiritual care, an unsafe living environment, finances, legal concerns, employment, food insecurity, and more.
