Department of Social Services

DSS exists to serve all people of Pender County. Through a renewed commitment to helping people avoid getting trapped into a cycle of dependency, DSS enhances the quality of life for citizens through programs designed to help the vulnerable, children, the aged, the disadvantaged, the sick, and the poverty stricken. Programs of public assistance and social services enable individuals and families to become self-supporting, self-sufficient, to avoid institutional care, to prevent or correct abuse, neglect, and exploitation; and to secure institutional care when appropriate.
