Looking for volunteer hours or ways to serve our community? Come volunteer with OPT! Thursday afternoons, from 3-5pm at our office in downtown Wilmington. See signup for details.

Women & SHelters

We come alongside domestic violence shelters and organizations, providing them with the tools and services that will help survivors of domestic violence, sex trafficking, and sexual assault take those next steps towards a life free from abuse.  

Students & Schools

Partnering with local schools and teen groups to educate and promote awareness is one of our greatest joys and highest priorities! With the ever increasing need for education and awareness, OPT has made this a strategic part of our mission. 

Community opportunities

OPT unites members of local communities during our drives, gift packing events, and our annual gala.  These opportunities help build and encourage unity, while impacting the lives of the women, families, and teens in shelters throughout our city. 

A message of hope…

Take a moment to send 3-4 sentences of hope and encouragement that will accompany gifts received by victims of abuse and assault.
