Neighbors In Need, Inc., a 501(c)(3) crisis organization, active in Madison County, NC for over 40 years, is now operating from the fellowship hall of Marshall Presbyterian Church, 165 South Main Street, Marshall, NC. The fellowship hall is located at the rear of the Church building through the double doors at the top of the parking area ramp.

NIN continues to assist Madison County residents with utility assistance in times of financial crisis on an annual 12 month rolling basis and helps with critical heating needs from December 01 through March 31 each year. As all equipment and supplies were lost during the 2024 flood, there is currently no food pantry offered, but Help may be available from Beacon of Hope Services.

Neighbors in need is open each Tuesday from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. An in-person visit is strongly encouraged but is required at least once a year. However, if needed, a message with a question can be left at (828) 206-2001. Please, use the (828) 206-2001 number for a more timely response rather than leaving a voice-mail on the church's phone; speak slowly, leaving your name, your question, and return telephone number.
