High Point Big Sweep Litter cleanup- October 1

 

Please join us for the 2022 High Point Big Sweep!

 

This year is the 34th High Point Big Sweep litter cleanup event, and we will be working together to remove litter from roadways, waterways, lakes, parks, school campuses and the Greenway.

 We will meet at Pinnacle Financial, located at 1585 N. University Parkway on Saturday, Oct. 1, and the event will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Krispy Kreme doughnuts are available to all volunteers in the morning, and we will also have bottled water.

All cleanup supplies will be provided! All volunteers automatically earn one ticket into the prize drawing.

We will once again be collecting non-perishable food items to donate to a local food pantry in High Point.

Each item donated will earn the donor an additional ticket into the prize drawing to possibly win a $100 Visa gift card courtesy of Blue Ridge Companies or a $50 restaurant gift card courtesy of Leggett & Platt, Inc.

Kernersville Spring Folly-May 4

  The annual Spring Folly Parking Lot Fundraiser in Kernersville is coming up on Friday, May 3 rd and Saturday, May 4 th . The fundraiser is co-organized with Main Street United Methodist Church. They allow us to use their parking lot, help with logistics, and encourage their members to volunteer. While parking is free, donations to Crisis Control Ministry of Kernersville are suggested. The fundraiser last year raised $8-$9k for us! All donations collected support the Kernersville office. The funds raised helped us assist 2,506 residents of Kernersville with emergency assistance last fiscal year. We will be implementing online donations through QR codes this year for the first time ever and hope to raise even more.   Kathy Hoffner, Director of Kernersville Office, and I would love to have NC Leadership Academy students cover one of the volunteer shifts for the parking lot fundraiser this year. Volunteers will help direct parking traffic and collect monetary donations.
