WARM – Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry
September 17, 2009
New Hanover County, NC home builder Mark Johnson Custom Homes, Inc would like to introduce our readers to WARM, the Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry.
WARM assists people living in substandard housing, including elderly and disabled. By upgrading their housing, they hope to alleviate some of their recipient’s problems and create a safe and healthy environment for them. WARM works with individuals, organizations and businesses in Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, and Pender Counties.
Every year, WARM organizes over 400 volunteers with a variety of skills to complete vital repairs on an average of 50 homes, helping many elderly, disabled, and other very low income homeowners stay in their homes.
WARM’s mission could not be fulfilled without their faithful, hard-working home repair and business skilled volunteers. As they continue to grow, WARM will be in need for more of both types of volunteers. Interested in helping out? Click here for volunteer opportunities!

Hi, Just a note to mention that many of the WARM clients are women beyond retirement age with a disability or caring for someone with a disability. These remarkable women live on $600-700/mth, social security, and medicare. So, with WARM’s help, and about $8,000/yr they live in a place they are comfortable. As opposed to becoming a ward of the state, institutionalized in anfriendly place, for an amount that starts around $45,000/yr for disabled care. Thank you for the post!
