Neighborhood Improvement Services team members, City Recreation staff and citizens helped out with the Spring Refresh Project this morning as part of Community Development Week. This initiative helps those neighbors who need assistance to clean up their yards, mow, and trim. Two homes in Jacksonville got this special treatment today.

Neighborhood Improvement Services also provides affordable housing information and offers homebuyer education and assistance, rehabilitation and demolition assistance.

To find out more about Spring Refresh and other programs and services, contact Neighborhood Improvement Services at 910-938-5286 or visit us on the City website (link provided in comments)

🌟 Mission Monday 🌟

Food insecurity continues to impact many families right here in Onslow County, especially families with young children. At the New River YMCA, we are committed to being part of the solution through programs that ensure youth have consistent access to nutritious food.

Join us this week for our upcoming Food Market. Thursday, March 26th at 2:00 PM. These efforts help bridge the gap for families who need it most, providing fresh, healthy food and support to our community’s children.

If you or someone you know could benefit, we invite you to join us. Just bring your bags 🛍️

Together, we can help fight hunger and build a stronger, healthier future for the youth in our community. 💙

Finders Keepers has always been more than a thrift store. It is a place where community generosity helps fund advocacy and support for survivors across Onslow County.

If this store has meant something to you, we would love to see you one more time before this chapter closes. 💜

We are 176 Days from our biggest event of the year! We cannot wait to see you all this year! We are currently accepting school supply donations & raffle donations! If you are interested in being a vendor this year or donating, please email [email protected]. Thank you!

🚗Have you ever been driving through Onslow, seen someone in need, and wished you had something tangible to give them right then and there?
In our partnership with Southern Touch Painting, we are thrilled to announce the Compassion in Motion Initiative, featuring our Community Compassion Totes! 💓
We have pre-filled these totes with essential hygiene items, but we need your help to get them across the finish line. 🏁
There are so many ways you can contribute! Whether donating items, writing an encouraging note, 👝 or picking up a tote from our office to keep in your car to help us reach those in need! This is a fun way for all ages to serve the community! 🫶 Reach out to Lisa at United Way, comment or message here if you would like to participate.

We want to hear from you! If you pick up a tote and make a successful delivery, come back to this post and let us know! Hearing about these moments of connection inspires us all to keep moving forward. ➡️

✨ We are incredibly grateful to Golden Corral for their continued support of our Annual Toys 4 Tots Luncheon! ✨

✨ Our 4th Annual Toys 4 Tots Luncheon was an amazing success! ✨
We could not have done it without the support of our incredible local community food sponsors. A special thank you to Church’s Chicken for their 4th year of generosity, Krispy Kreme for their 2nd year of support, and a warm welcome to Smithfield’s and Chick-fil-A as our newest sponsors!

Onslow County Happenings!

Eastern Carolina Human Services Agency, Inc. has received official notice from the NC Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Economic Opportunity instructing our Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) to be discontinued effective immediately.

This order was placed as a result of the lapse in federal funding following the government shutdown. This suspension of funding is not related to ECHSA's performance or compliance and is instead a statewide concern.

This order is in effect until further notice. We will continue to communicate with our program participant, partners, and community as more information becomes available. As always, donations are welcome. Thank you!
