A list of the Town's upcoming and/or ongoing projects to benefit the community:
Community Share Shed
With the cost of groceries and clothing continuing to rise, it’s becoming harder for many families to put food on the table or cover basic necessities. Our Town's Community Share Shed, created and implemented by Public Works Director Patrick Moore, is here to support our neighbors. All items are donated by community members, Town Hall Staff, and our Police Department.
The Share Shed operates 100% on trust. We invite Wilson’s Mills residents to take what they need and please leave what they can to help others.
Right now, the Share Shed is very low on supplies—and we could use your help! Donations needed include:
- Canned goods (no dented cans, please)
- Non-perishable and shelf-stable food items
- Baby food, clothing and supplies
- Toiletries and paper products
- Blankets
- Jackets and winter accessories (accepted beginning in the Fall)
- Other useful items and necessities
You can bring donations to Town Hall, Monday–Friday, between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, or donate directly to the Share Shed, which is available 24/7 for pick up or drop off. If you do drop off items at the shed, please empty bags/boxes and place items neatly on the shelves. The Share Shed is located at our Town Hall Campus: 4083C Wilson's Mills Road, Wilson's Mills, NC 27577.

Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community!
Honoring the History of Wilson’s Mills
The Historical Preservation Project is well underway, and we’re excited to share that interviews, photographs, and records are actively being collected to celebrate and preserve the rich heritage of Wilson’s Mills. We’ve already connected with several founding families and long-standing residents to document their stories—stories that bring our town’s history to life in powerful and personal ways.
As we continue this ongoing effort, we’ll be adding new oral histories, photos, newspaper clippings, and other discoveries to this page and our social media channels—so check back often!
Our goal is to build a lasting archive that honors the town’s journey from its roots in 1868 through incorporation in 1996, and beyond. This growing collection will help safeguard the unique history of Wilson’s Mills, promote community pride, and may even lead to the creation of a dedicated Historical Society in the future.
We invite all citizens—past and present—to be a part of this meaningful work as we celebrate where we’ve been and help shape where we’re going.
