A Story About Giving
The Outer Banks Community Foundation awarded its very first grant to the Outer Banks Hotline in 1983. The grant enabled Hatteras Island residents to make toll-free calls to receive crisis support (because the island only had toll service). Among the calls that Hotline received after getting a toll-free number, were requests for help in a family where there was abuse; a young woman who found herself without a place to live or money to support herself; and a parent who needed services for her handicapped child. Since then, Hotline continues to grow, raise awareness, and meet our goals to ensure the Outer Banks community is the very best place to visit, live, and raise a family.
