DRC Is Here To Help

disAbility Resource Center's (DRC) normal business hours are Monday – Thursday from 9:00 am -4:00 pm and Friday by appointment only. All in person appointments must be made in advance with a disability advocate. This allows dRC staff to travel within our service area and provide more services to our surrounding counties (Brunswick, Columbus, Onslow and Pender).

Disability Advocates are available to speak with you by phone or video calls Monday-Thursday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. You may also request assistance from us using the Referral tab on our website.

We look forward to assisting you.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Twitter for the most recent updates and links to vital resources as we receive them.

To reach a dRC staff member, dial dRC’s Main Number at 910-815-6618. If you’re asked to leave a message, please do so, and we will contact you shortly. Consumers from the Deaf community should use email to reach out to us.

As always, call us if you are in need of our services: (910) 815-6618. We will continue to do our best to help you in whatever way we can.
