Community Organizing for Racial Equity (CORE) is at risk of shutting down.

For those who don’t know CORE: they’ve led anti-racism trainings, healing circles, and deep equity work across North Carolina for years - with a special focus on faith based communities and rural areas. Their work creates space for truth, justice, difficult conversations and community repair.

But in today’s political climate, that work is being labeled “too controversial.” Funding has been paused. Staff have been let go. And now, CORE is fighting to stay open.

They need to raise $16,000 by June 15 to keep going.

If you believe in justice, not just as a value, but as action, please give what you can. Every donation helps.

We had so much fun hosting our first ever Food for Thoughts gathering at the KidSCope Village, where families came together to learn about mindful eating, essential nutrients for mental health, and how to make a vibrant Caribbean coleslaw salad. 🌿🍴🥗 We wrapped up the evening with a delicious Caribbean-inspired dinner. 🍽️

The kids enjoyed playtime while families received Give & Gather Boxes—a take-home Thanksgiving kit with whole chicken/turkey, spices, veggies, and dessert to create their own festive magic at home. 🥘✨

A heartfelt thanks to Davida Julien, Nutrition Educator from NC Coop, for facilitating this wonderful event! 🌟
