Today we are shining a light on our foundational program: Weekend Meals 🍽️ Oak City Cares started out as Oak City Outreach Center in 2014.

This was a space adjacent to Moore Square in downtown Raleigh that established a system to serve coordinated meals to our unhoused friends on the weekend. The goal of OCOC was to fill the meal gap during the weekend observed by the Wake County Community. When our multi-services center opened in 2019, our Weekend Meals program moved with us. OCOC served 750 meals the first weekend it opened. Last year alone, we served 73,045 meals. These meals are prepared and served by our community partners. This is a continuation of the compassion of our community who saw a need and helped us find a way to meet it. We proudly serve over 250 meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner EVERY Saturday and Sunday. We even serve meals on most holidays (i.e. the day after Thanksgiving).
