📢 Pender County Department of Social Services and Child Support Enforcement Services are moving!

Our team is relocating to 298 Progress Drive in Burgaw to better serve our community.

The move will take place April 16–17, 2026. Services will continue as usual during this time. Phone lines and online services will remain available, though responses to emails and phone calls may take slightly longer as staff complete the transition.

Beginning April 20, 2026, in-person visits in Burgaw will take place at the new location.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to welcoming you soon!
