We have been the fortunate recipients of several generous grants from the Residents of Old Wilmington (ROW), and their support has made a meaningful difference to The Sister Isaac Center. In particular, their grants have often helped us keep our food pantry stocked and ensure that we have food available for our neighbors in need.

The event that helps fund the many grants ROW provides to area nonprofits is largely supported by their popular Back Door Kitchen Tour. Having had the pleasure of participating in the tour several times, I can tell you it is a wonderful way to spend a Fall Saturday!

The tour offers a rare opportunity to step behind the doors of eight stunning historic homes in downtown Wilmington. It is a wonderful combination of history, architecture and beautiful homes—all while supporting an organization that gives back so generously to our local community.

The tour is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026 from 10am - 4pm

Tickets can be purchased by visiting the ROW website at

St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church Cary NC Youth Group: YOU ROCK! What a great help you were to us this week! Our guests loved the bagged lunches you made for them, the rugs you cleaned were distributed to families in need, the medical equipment you organized is ready to be distributed to our neighbors, and the coats and shoes labeled are ready for the cooler weather. You truly showed us the meaning of "Love in Action"!! Come back again, soon!!

Today is National Making Life Beautiful Day!

We'd like to celebrate our wonderful volunteers that make everything we do at the Sister Isaac Center possible. Pictured here is our eldest volunteer, Bob, who is here 4 days a week! At 93 years young, Bob has spent the better part of his life giving of himself, and he continues to do so today.

Thank you for making the lives of everyone at SIC beautiful every day, Bob!
