We are boldly declaring 2020 the Year of Encouragement!

We get it. 2020 has been a challenging year thus far. And while we acknowledge the issues we’re facing as a community, a nation and a world are real, we think there’s space for joyous celebration too – especially within the nonprofit community, our champions of encouragement. So, we encourage you to read, watch and pass on these stories of local encouragement.

2020. The year of encouragement. At the onset of the year, we never imagined just how needed encouragement would be. We’re grateful for our nonprofit community that is persistent in challenge and present in hardship. And we’re grateful to you for following along with our year of encouragement journey this year! We look forward to all 2021 has in store. Special shout-out to Foundation of Hope, A Place at the Table, Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina and United Way of the Greater Triangle for letting us tell your story.

Introducing our video series theme for 2020: the Year of Encouragement. Hear stories from local nonprofits on how being encouraged has fueled their desire to in turn encourage others.

A Place at the Table is a pay-what-you-can café that welcomes everyone through their doors and provides them with community and food, regardless of means.

United Way of the Greater Triangle shares about the importance of community and the role encouragement has in both our professional and personal lives.

Rashawn’s high school experience was certainly not that of a typical high schooler – but Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina still worked their magic and gave him the selfless wish he requested. 

April’s story with Foundation of Hope seeks to encourage those who struggle with mental health illness – and to let them know that it’s okay to ask for help.
