The Vision of Tomorrow NC
We have a clear and heartfelt vision. The founders, board and volunteers of VOT NC are dedicated to strengthening our communities by providing fundamental necessities to children and those affected by housing insecurity. As a non-denominational NGO, our vision is to provide humane assistance to individuals in need. VOT NC strengthens the fabric of our community tapestries by providing a bag lunch full of nourishing food, warm coats, shoes, blankets and other necessities. Our vision stems from empathy, care, and providing opportunities to those who need them the most. We are guided by our slogan, “Life always offers you a second chance, it’s called tomorrow.”

Meal Programs
We organize meal programs to provide nourishing food bag meals to children and the homeless in the community. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure no child or unsheltered individual is experiencing hunger.
Educational Support
Visions of Tomorrow NC Members, Volunteers and Board Trustees work to identify the needs of the children for a successful start to the school year. We solicit and gather monetary donations from our Members, generous donors, and the business community to purchase and distribute School Supplies. We organize an annual School Supply Drive before the start of the school year.

Supporting Those Experiencing Housing Insecurity
Housing insecurity touches individuals and entire families. It leaves them vulnerable and without an address it is harder to register for school, seek employment, or apply for government assistance. When program funds are available, we are working to create a database of affordable safe housing listings. We are seeking Job and Life Counselors who are willing and able to work with unsheltered individuals to create a new tomorrow for them and their families. We are also seeking companies that are willing to hire and train those that need a brighter tomorrow.
