The Junkluggers of the Triangle Affiliates

The mission of First in Families of Wake County is to help people with disabilities and their families to believe in their dreams, achieve their goals and give back to others. We provide direct family support to meet the requests of individuals and families for needed goods and services to enhance their ability to live and thrive in the community. We also provide information and referral to other community services and supports. By stretching our public funding through donations and discounts from local businesses and sponsors we are able to provide more assistance to families in need.
