THANKS TO YOU...

How We Got Here – Centennial History
YOU’RE INVITED TO THE LAUNCH
MeaningFULL Meals – Host a Drive – Drop off Your Donations – It’s That Easy!
In the summer months, many local children do not have access to nutritious meals and go hungry. You can be part of the solution by supporting MeaningFULL Meals this July.
United Way of Greater Greensboro (UWGG) is mobilizing the community throughout July in partnership with BackPack Beginnings and The Volunteer Center of the Triad to collect as much food as possible to support summer nutrition programs.
Simply host a drive in July, and drop off your donations at BackPack Beginnings by August 5.
EVERYTHING you need to host a drive can be found in this easy to follow and print TOOLKIT!

KRS-One is a legend in the hip hop game – an emcee with both rhymes and reason. His name stands for “Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone” which is fitting, because he’s also known as “Teacha.” Make no mistake, you will not want to miss this show! KRS-One is a renowned hip-hop artist, activist, and author who will be in town for one night only, performing his music and spreading a message of peace, love, and unity. This message is at the heart of United Way’s work and we couldn’t think of anyone better to headline our 100 Years of Good Vibes concert series.
