The "1 Church, 1 Family" program is an Onslow County initiative to strengthen community ties by encouraging local churches to adopt families or older adults in need. This initiative addresses the growing issue of isolation among seniors while fostering intergenerational relationships that benefit older adults and younger families. Through the program, participating churches provide support in various ways, such as offering transportation to medical appointments, assisting with daily needs, or simply including seniors in family gatherings and church activities. 

By building these connections, "1 Church, 1 Family" not only combats loneliness but also creates a network of care and mutual support. As part of Onslow County's broader effort to enhance the well-being of its residents, this initiative reflects a commitment to community-driven solutions that promote a sense of belonging, dignity, and inclusion for all.
