For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.

Matthew 25:35-36

The Clark James Foundation was founded in 2010 through a generous gift of William Clark James of Wilmington, NC. Through his estate gift, Clark James has made a lasting difference for the hungry and homeless in Wilmington and southeastern North Carolina.

The mission of the Clark James Foundation is to raise long-term, perpetual funds that sustain the Good Shepherd Center of Wilmington and its mission to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and transition people out of homelessness.

Your support ensures that the doors are open to hungry and homeless men, women, and families with children, that we meet their immediate safety and survival needs, and assist them to transition to housing and independence in our community.
