Oak City Cares
Oak City Cares
Oak City Cares is a Raleigh-based public-private partnership that supports the self-determination of our neighbors experiencing homelessness through connections to coordinated services that increase their ability to be safely and stably housed. The GearCats is honored to work with Oak City Cares since 2020 by providing dozens of handmade ear-warmers/neck covers from leftover yarn, and has upcycled thousands of used plastic grocery bags to make durable sleeping mats for unhoused members of our community. The GearCats is also working with Oak City Cares to host Weekend Distribution events in which the GearCats collect and distribute needed items for the community members served by Oak City Cares.

The GearCats partnered with Fund2Orgs and helped gather new and gently used shoes from our school and community. These shoes were sent to developing countries where local community members sell them in their own small businesses. The GearCats proudly gathered over 750 pairs of shoes.
