A new year brings new possibilities, but our mission stays the same.

At First in Families of NC, we’re committed to helping individuals with disabilities and their families lead self-determined, fulfilling lives.

For 30+ years, we’ve supported thousands across all 100 NC counties — offering connection, guidance, and hope rooted in community.

As we step into 2026, we invite you to be part of this work. Together, we can build a North Carolina where every person is valued, included, and supported to thrive.
