Yesterday , we were proud to join forces with Greensboro Beautiful, Inc. for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Litter Cleanup.

For us, honoring his legacy isn't just a yearly tradition, it’s a daily commitment to the people and neighborhoods we serve. Seeing so many hands come together today to beautify our city was truly inspiring.

Thank you to everyone who showed up today and to those who continue to show up for our community. Together, we are the pulse of progress.

GuilfordWorks, in partnership with Hub 4 Hope of Evangel Fellowship, has launched a new NCWorks community hub to connect residents on Greensboro’s east side with employment services, education and training opportunities, and workforce resources.

The hub will launch Thursday, January 22, and operate Thursdays from 10 am to 2 pm at 2207 E. Cone Blvd., providing in-person access to workforce services with support from GuilfordWorks outreach staff and a Mobile Career Center.

Through the partnership, residents can access job search assistance, career exploration, workforce program referrals, and training and support services. Hub 4 Hope serves as a consistent access point for GuilfordWorks services.

This is GuilfordWorks’ first long-term, officially designated NCWorks community hub. Additional workforce events, including job fairs, Fresh Start events, and youth-focused initiatives, are planned throughout the year.

Last Saturday, parents gathered at Dudley High School to go through the Parent Advocacy Training, which was organized by their PTA. Parents who completed this training qualify to train other parents to be advocates. In order to become an effective advocate for students, people must study the system in which they are advocating.

At the Cone Health Foundation, we are proud to be a grant partner with them through our Partnering for Health Equity 2025 Award Cycle.

Several school and elected officials were present at this training; including Principal Gause, Assistant Principal Wilson, City Councilwoman Black, and School Board Member Jenkins. Thank you all for showing your support of students at Dudley High Schools, Guilford County Schools, and this Partnering for Health Equity mission!

The Guilford County Food Action Network (GCFAN) kicked off its first meeting of the year with engaging presentations that invited members to provide feedback and collectively align goals for the year. Members of the Policy Workgroup presented their short‑term and long‑term priorities, setting a strong foundation for the work ahead.

As access to healthy food remains an increasing need in our community, the efforts of this coalition are more important than ever. We are hopeful and inspired by the collective impact this network will continue to make for everyone in our community.
