Catholic Charities offers a range of services designed to enrich the lives of children and youth. From adoption services and pregnancy support to a teen parenting program in Winston-Salem, Catholic Charities provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to reach their full potential.
Pregnancy Support & Adoption
Catholic Charities offers pregnancy support for those facing an unexpected pregnancy. We offer non-judgmental information about parenting and adoption options. Our adoption services place children in new, loving families and provide continued support through their journey together.
Wee Care (Infant & Toddler Clothing)
Catholic Charities offices in Lenoir, North Wilkesboro, and Winston-Salem operate Wee Care Shoppes, which provides free infant and toddler clothing and varied supplies to families and children in need. Clothing is available in sizes up to 2T. Staff and volunteers help participants with selecting clothing and supplies, including diapers, baby wipes, baby bottles, and blankets.
Wee Care assistance starts with a phone call. Call to schedule an appointment for the item(s) to be picked up in Lenoir, North Wilkesboro, or Winston-Salem. If a voicemail message is reached, please leave your name, phone number, and home city.
The addresses and phone numbers of our Wee Care Shoppes are:
- Lenoir: 328-B Woodsway Lane NW (on the grounds of St. Francis of Assisi Church). Phone number: 828-434-5710
- North Wilkesboro: 201 Tenth Street. Phone number: 828-434-5710
- Winston-Salem: 1612 E. 14th St. NE. Phone number: 336-727-0705
Donate to a Wee Care Shoppe
This ministry partners with other people and organizations and relies heavily on donations. Catholic Charities welcomes financial donations as well as donations of baby items, especially diapers and baby wipes. All clothing donations must be for small children (up to 2T) and must be new or clean and gently used. If you are making an individual donation of items, please call several days in advance to schedule a donation drop-off.
Perhaps your parish or school could host a Diaper Drive. Catholic Charities will provide “ready to go” flyers for bulletins and arrange the pick-up of large parish/school bulk collections of diapers and baby wipes. Please call either the Lenoir or Winston-Salem office to explore offering such assistance.
Please note that furniture (such as cribs and mattresses) and baby seats are not distributed and are not sought as donated items.
