Dorcas Ministries is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization
THANKS FOR BEING A PART OF THE THREAD
Greetings Friends,
Our 2015 was certainly one for the record books as the highlight list attests. Importantly, we
revisited our mission and vision statements as laid out in our organizational Strategic Plan. Our
mission statement was expanded to include our intent of moving our clients from their point of crisis
to a state of self-sufficiency. Our vision statement now reflects our desire to become a model of
excellence for nonprofit service delivery in Western Wake County. Our strategic plan now includes
activities to satisfy both without straying from our key values and beliefs: “In everything we do, we
will conduct ourselves with caring and compassion and in keeping with biblical principles.”
HOWARD MANNING
Executive Director
Here are a few highlights from 2015:
• We served over 13,000 people in need.
• Our committed team of over 420 volunteers logged over 62,000 hours.
• The readers of Cary Magazine voted Dorcas Ministries the Best Charity in Western Wake for the second year in a row. The Dorcas Thrift Shop also received three first places and one honorable mention for places to shop.
Thank you, readers and voters!!
• We unveiled our Wall of Gratitude in 2015 to show our appreciation for our volunteers of 10 years or more and significent donors. We hope it will encourage others to join them in support of our mission.
• The 2015 Thanksgiving Breakfast, emceed by Debra Morgan of WRAL-TV, raised over $154,000.
• Our Outreach Programs added a full-time case manager and launched a new emergency housing program that had a 89% success rate.
• We signed an agreement with the UNC School of Nursing to have their mobile van on site twice a month to help
clients manage chronic illnesses. We sponsored the NC Baptist Men’s Dental Bus for Dorcas Ministries clients.
• With the help of the community, our Dorcas Thrift Shop had a record year for sales, exceeding 2014 sales by 20%.
• Contributions and donations from the public now account for almost 25% of our total revenue stream as compared
to 15% in past years.
It is not possible to list in this report the many favors God has shown us in 2015. I invite you to come by Dorcas for a
Red Carpet tour to see and hear for yourself how God takes ordinary people and gets extraordinary results. Our physical
location is 187 High House Road, Cary, North Carolina. I look forward to seeing you soon.

PROVIDING HELP WHEN NEEDED
Dorcas Ministries Helped Over 13,000 People in 2015.
Here are a few of their words of appreciation....
“Words can’t express
how thankful my family
is for your help with
hotel costs when we
were homeless and
trying to find a place
to live. You helped
us reach our goal of
independence.“ ­
— PG, Morrisville
“Thank you all for the
kindness, good advice
and food assistance
you’ve given me and my
four children. You helped
me work through the
issues and find the best
options for my life.“
— SG, Cary
“Thank you so much
for your help sending
my two children to
preschool. They have
both had a wonderful
start to to the school
year and are doing
so well! We are so
grateful for the support
of Dorcas!”— ES, Cary
“Thank you, and all of
Dorcas Ministries, for
your generosity and
kindness. Thanks to the
rent assistance and
counseling you gave
me, I am now better
able to see the light at
the other end of a dark
tunnel.”­— RM, Cary
“Thank you for the tank
of gas! Thanks to your
kindness, today I didn’t
have to stare at an
engine light and worry
if the car would make
it to the my next
destination.”
— WT, Morrisville
“I got a job! I would
like to thank you all
for your support and
all the wisdom I gained
through the Jobs for
Life class at Dorcas.”
— KD, Cary
“I really appreciated the
financial empowerment
class at Dorcas. I learned
so much! I just wish I
had taken the class years
ago and made better
decisions about money
along the way.”
— HG, Cary
“Thank you so much for
helping me with the
cost of a hotel when I
was homeless. I don’t
know where I would
have gone without
your help.”
— TS, Morrisville
“I am so grateful for the
opportunity you all gave
me to improve myself.
The scholarship you
gave me to Wake Tech
has allowed me to start
a journey towards a
rewarding and fulfilling
career I am ecstatic
about!”— JS, Cary

In 2015 Dorcas suffered the
loss of our Board President,
Mr. Gary McKinney.
Gary was a Dorcas employee,
volunteer, and served 2 terms
as Board President.
His vision and legacy
still guide us.
“I often refer to Dorcas Ministries as a community treasure. This special place transforms lives everyday by
providing a path to self-sufficiency for our neighbors in need. As volunteers and staff, it transforms lives by
giving meaning, purpose and a path to living our Christian values. Thanks to all of our donors, churches, business
community partners, and loyal shoppers for making this all possible.” —Bob Stapleton, Board President
