Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central North Carolina (BGCNCNC) Chair of the Board Tanya Evans and President and CEO Donyell “DJ” Jones appeared on WIZS Town Talk Thursday at 11 a.m.
Evans and Jones were excited to announce that the Boys and Girls Clubs have resumed the distribution of hot, free meals to club members and\or any child between the ages of 5-18. Families are encouraged to drive through and pick up meals without getting out of their vehicles.
Meals are provided Monday – Friday from 4:30 until 6 p.m. at the following locations:
- Granville Club – 105 West St. in Oxford, NC
- Vance Club – 212 N. Clark St. in Henderson, NC
- Roanoke Rapids Club – 116 W 3rd St. in Roanoke Rapids, NC
Volunteers are needed to assist with the distribution of prepackaged dinners. If you are able to assist, please send the following information to Jones at djones@bgcncnc.com:
- Your name and contact information
- Days/times that you can volunteer
- Desired club location where you can serve (Henderson, Oxford or Halifax)
To ensure the safety of all participants, volunteers should bring a mask (scarf, bandana, or wrap) that will cover the nose and mouth. Gloves will be provided on-site. If you are sick, not feeling well or have been exposed to someone that is sick or not feeling well, please refrain from volunteering.
Beginning with the second week of service, the BGCNCNC will be distributing educational/activity kits for members during meal distribution. There will be opportunities for volunteers to assist with creating packets for distribution at that time.
