disAbility Resource Center's (DRC) normal business hours are Monday – Thursday from 9:00 am -4:00 pm and Friday by appointment only. All in person appointments must be made in advance with a disability advocate. This allows dRC staff to travel within our service area and provide more services to our surrounding counties (Brunswick, Columbus, Onslow and Pender).
Disability Advocates are available to speak with you by phone or video calls Monday-Thursday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. You may also request assistance from us using the Referral tab on our website.
We look forward to assisting you.
