Posted — UpdatedLow cash flow has led the Wake County branch of the popular nonprofit unable to offer financial assistance for the remainder of July.
“I hated to walk up to our case managers and our staff and say, ‘We just don’t have the money,’” Bagwell said Thursday. “That was a hard statement for me to make.”
Bagwell said Salvation Army donations are down 20 percent while demand is up 25 percent.
It's a similar problem at other area nonprofits.
At Urban Ministries of Wake County, officials said their donations are down as well.
The agencies and those who benefit from them are looking to the public for help.
