Events

The festival will be held on Saturday July 22nd from 11:00am-2:00pm at the Greenville Boys and Girls Club at 475 Belvoir Hwy Greenville NC. In addition to vendors and sponsors, there will also be music, dance groups and food.

It is always important for organizations to form new and lasting relationships with the community. This event will have multitudes of local organizations, who will be offering information about their programs and services, networking opportunities, and opportunities for children to learn and grow.

On July 23rd, I am hoping to provide the farm workers at Evans camp in Tarboro with comprehensive health screenings. If you are interested in participating, please get back to me at your earliest convenience. For this particular camp, I am also seeking clothing and PPE donations, as many of the men have been suffering from bug bites and heat-related injuries due to lack of adequate attire and equipment. If you are willing to donate, I can pick up the items from you or you can bring them to our local office, located at 261 Belvoir Hwy in Greenville.

No time indicated as of now.

You are invited to join us for an informal Lunch & Learn (taco bar) on July 26th from 11:30am-1pm in the United Way of Pitt County boardroom. We plan to network and share information about the recently released Self-Sufficiency Standard for NC (SSS) - previous eNews on that here.

The Self-Sufficiency Standard describes how much income families of various sizes and compositions need to make ends meet without public or private assistance in each county in NC. This report analyzed over 700 different family types and is based on the costs of basic needs of working families, for example, housing, child care, food, health care, transportation, miscellaneous items, taxes and the impact of tax credits.

We will discuss themes covered during the unveiling and review the SSS for Pitt County families.

United Way Lunch & Learns are open to the public, please plan to join us! Doors open at 11:30am for networking and grabbing lunch. Program will begin at noon. The last 30 minutes of the Lunch & Learn will be reserved for announcements from participants.

Contact UNITED WAY for more information.

Principal Kafele is a dynamic educational leader, and you don't want to miss this presentation.
