NKF Serving the Carolinas - North Carolina

On January 15, 2021, Representatives Phil Shepard (R-15), Marcia Morey (D-30), Pat Hurley (R-70), Donny Lambeth (R-75), and Larry Potts (R-81) introduced the North Carolina Living Donor Protection Act (H.B. 71). This act will prevent long-term insurers from discriminating against organ donors, provide paid leave for state employees who donate an organ, and provide a tax credit to offset expenses incurred above those covered by the recipient’s insurance.

We’ve created a form to automatically email your state legislators to ask them to support the LDPA.

Several times each year, a representative of Carolina Value Village will telephone residents in your neighborhood seeking donations of furniture, clothing (men's, women's, and children's) and other household items. The representative will confirm a date when a truck can come to your home and pick up items. Each collection of items provides a donation to the NKF. Each donated item is prepared for resale to the public at Carolina Value Village, making fine quality goods available at thrift store prices. One hundred percent of the proceeds received by the NKF supports patient programs. All donated items are tax deductible at present fair market value in accordance with IRS regulations.
