Who We Are

It started with serving others.

For more than 30 years, our organization has served the community of Sampson County, North Carolina. We've evolved from a local ministry initiative to a sustainable non-profit dedicated to providing Christian service and support. Our history is a testament to the power of community, from our early days as the Sampson Crisis Center to our current role as Sampson Partners.

Sampson Partners is dedicated to providing humanitarian relief in Sampson County through a simple, effective model:

  • We accept donations of furniture, clothing, and household goods.

  • The income from our sales is distributed to local nonprofit organizations and church outreach projects.

We proudly support initiatives such as food banks, college scholarships, domestic violence programs, emergency relief, and various child programs. Our overarching purpose is to glorify God by serving our neighbors in Sampson County.
