What they do
OAK CITY CARES, AN INDEPENDENT 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, is THE OPERATOR and COORDINATOR of THE OAK CITY CARES MULTI-SERVICES HUB THAT BRINGS TOGETHER AN ARRAY of WAKE COUNTY NON-PROFITS ENSURING THAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS GET ONSITE HELP and SERVING AS A BRIDGE to THE ONGOING RESOURCES THEY NEED. OAK CITY CARES, INC. DOES THIS BY CONNECTING THOSE AT RISK to COORDINATED SERVICES THAT CREATE A PATH to STABLE HOUSING and RENEWED HOPE. OAK CITY CARES EXPERIENCED A TRIPLING of THE DEMAND for OUR SERVICES IN TWO YEARS GOING FROM SERVING 1,500 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS IN THE 21-22 FISCAL YEAR to MORE THAN 6,000 IN 23-24 FISCAL YEAR. IN THE 24-25 FISCAL YEAR WE CONTINUED to SERVE MORE THAN 6,000 INDIVIDUALS IN NEED. ONE of THE PRIMARY BARRIERS to SECURING SAFE and STABLE HOUSING is THE LACK of PREDICTABLE INCOME. SOAR (SSI/SSDI OUTREACH, ACCESS, and RECOVERY) is A NATIONAL PROGRAM THAT ASSISTS ELIGIBLE ADULTS WHO ARE HOMELESS or AT RISK of HOMELESSNESS WITH THE APPLICATION PROCESS FO

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $331,274 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $139,608 for KATHRYN JOHNSON (EXECUTIVE DI). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
Has the pattern changed?
Each bar shows the share of annual spending reported for mission work, management, and fundraising.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
