America is more divided and lonely than ever before. But it’s not hopeless. The solution starts here, in Wilkes County, one neighborhood at a time.
There are folks in Wilkes who are showing up for each other. They’re tackling shared problems, building friendships, and rebuilding social trust. You can join them and help make Wilkes a place where everyone feels like they belong.
Join us for a gathering where we will share our stories, identify community resources, and build partnerships to strengthen Wilkes. There will be activities, local food, and live music to build new memories together.
Ready to weave Wilkes together?
Start by inviting two people: a friend and someone you’d like to know better.
Saturday, September 14th from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
The Stone Center (613 Cherry St., North Wilkesboro, NC)
Free and open to folks 18+ [Childcare will not be available]
The day will include:
- Morning coffee from Anchor and pastries from Dom Bakeries will get us started off right, with 6th and Main providing lunch and afternoon snacks to keep us going.
- Listening, sharing, and mapping our experiences. We’ll tell our stories and explore what we need to build a stronger Wilkes together.
- Information on the 2024 Weaver Awards, which celebrates folks and gives them $5,000 grants to foster community across Wilkes County.
- Live music from local singer/songwriter Will Easter
