Thomasboro Community Collaborative

Residents of Thomasboro engaged with community agencies during a collaborative event that brought people together to share food, fun, and educational resources benefiting childhood development and economic opportunity. Charlotte Mecklenburg Library provided information on learning programs such as Summer Break and Active Reading; access to educational resources through ONE Access and live homework help; resources on continuing education; hands-on technology and literacy for teens; book giveaways; and storytelling through friend of the Library, Ramona Big Eagle. BBQ was provided by Noble Smoke, and music by artists JustHIS League. Games and face painting were also among fun activities for kids.

 

Giving hope and transformation for Charlotte’s most at-risk neighborhoods, Charlotte Mecklenburg Dream Center sponsored the event as a part of their Adopt-A-Block kickoff, which seeks to connect with residents through faith-based outreach.
