About Us

WE ARE


We are compassion in action.
Created in 1952 by the Ministerial Association of Mount Holly, the Community Relief Organization has been a central place for neighbors in need for nearly seven decades. We are now the largest provider of emergency assistance in Mount Holly, providing over $1 million in assistance to over 5,000 residents a year.
We are a hub of hope fueled by our community’s desire to live out their calling to love their neighbors as themselves. Volunteers run most of our daily operations. Over half of our support originates from our community’s businesses, civic groups, church congregations, and individuals.
We are neighbors helping neighbors.
