The goal of the Outer Banks Relief Foundation is to help locals on the Outer Banks who are struggling with financial difficulties due to a disease/illness, or a crisis. With its inception in 2004, some Outer Banks locals came up with the notion to start an organization that would raise funds, that would be used to take care of local folks in the Outer Banks community. The Outer Banks Relief Foundation has provided over one million dollars to 500+ OBX locals in need.
