Perquimans County Department of Social Services
offers services that address issues of poverty, family violence and exploitation. County Departments provide citizens with resources
and services to maximize their well–being and self–determination. Their function is to help prevent abuse, neglect, and
exploitation of vulnerable citizens: the poor, the children, the aged, the disabled and the sick, as well as promote self–sufficiency
for individuals and families.
Meal Programs for Children
School–aged children are among those in America most–severely affected by hunger. But there are ways to ensure your children are
getting the nutrition they need even when times are tight.

When natural disaster strikes, Americans who were living on the brink of poverty face monumental struggles as they attempt to
rebuild their lives.
