NCCJ is a human relations organization. They work to build communities free of bias, bigotry and racism by promoting understanding and respect among all cultures, races and religions.
Together, we can bridge the divide and build communities that better understand how to work and live together. We create respectful and compassionate spaces where people can let down their guard, get comfortable with being uncomfortable, face difficult issues and ask tough questions. These kinds of interactions help communities move to a place of less hostility and greater understanding, acceptance, and collaboration.
The Interactive Resource Center is Guilford County’s only day resource center for people currently facing, experiencing or coming out of homelessness. We use a whole-person approach to address all aspects of the homeless experience. This means we provide everything from fundamental services (showers, laundry, or a mailing address for example) to medical and mental health care, case management and employment services. We meet our guests where they are, gather the resources they need to gain shelter and help them create a new path forward.

Mustard Seed Community Health’s patients are some of the most vulnerable people in Guilford County. Many don’t have health insurance, many are living in homes that make them and their families sicker, many are struggling with trauma, or struggling simply to put healthy food on the table. And before the Mustard Seed Community Health Clinic opened in 2014 many went without healthcare until their problems became acute or even irreversible.
