More Than a Meal: A Community Lifeline

Kabrina Shamburger — Wed, 28 May 2025 15:32:28 +0000

When Mrs. Eleanor Thompson lost her husband, life grew quiet and isolating. At 78, mobility challenges made it difficult to prepare meals, and without nearby family, she often skipped eating altogether. But everything changed when Meals on Wheels entered her life. With every hot, nutritious meal delivered to her door, Eleanor not only regained her strength—she rediscovered connection.

Her story is just one of hundreds. In the past year alone, Senior Resources of Guilford Meals on Wheels program has reached 859 seniors, delivered 132,464 meals, and provided 851 Santa Bags for Seniors during the holidays. Even cherished pets weren’t forgotten—2,500 meals were delivered to 45 animal companions. Behind these numbers are dedicated volunteers like Cheryl, who says, “Every time I thought I could do something to help, I received so much more in return,” and Bev, who now delivers daily meals to what she calls her “Greensboro family.”

Meals on Wheels delivers more than food—it brings dignity, friendship, and hope to our senior neighbors. Senior Resources of Guilford recently purchased a medically tailored meal delivery truck with support from the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, the Cone Health Foundation, and the Foundation for a Healthy High Point. This medically tailored meal delivery truck will enable Senior Resources of Guilford to reach older adults who require renal diets and reduced sugar meals. The Community Foundation is honored to support this critical work which shows us how powerful small, consistent acts of care can be.

From meal deliveries and transportation to wellness checks and community events, Senior Resources of Guilford ensures that every eligible senior, regardless of race, color, creed, or gender, has access to life-enhancing services that support their health and well-being.

Teen Grantmaking Council Announces 2025 Grantees

Kabrina Shamburger — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 13:33:14 +0000

The Teen Grantmaking Council (TGC) brings together high school students from across Guilford County to explore the power of philanthropy, discuss issues impacting teens, and take an active role in community grantmaking. The 2024-2025 TGC cohort was composed of 28 bright and passionate students from 13 different high schools, selected through a competitive application and interview process.

This year, the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro introduced two specialized committees within TGC: the Marketing and Communications Committee and the Grants Committee. These groups allowed students to deepen their knowledge of nonprofit funding and campaign development, giving them hands-on experience in making a meaningful impact. The 2024-2025 cohort selected food insecurity and sustainability, youth development and education, and race/immigrant and refugee status as their primary focus areas for funding.

Through a rigorous process that included revising the grant application, conducting interviews, and hosting deliberation sessions, the TGC Grants Committee awarded $20,000 in funding to eight youth-led initiatives dedicated to making Greensboro a stronger, more equitable community. With five hours of in-depth discussions and evaluations, these students demonstrated the power of youth-driven philanthropy and their commitment to shaping a brighter future.

Honoring Black History Month: Celebrating the Black Community of Greensboro

Kabrina Shamburger — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 21:14:27 +0000

As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize the profound contributions of Greensboro’s Black community—past, present, and future. From the courageous leadership of the Greensboro Four during the civil rights movement to the thriving Black entrepreneurs, artists, and changemakers shaping our city today, Black history is an integral part of Greensboro’s identity. This month is a time to reflect on the resilience, strength, and achievements of Black leaders who have paved the way for progress while also reaffirming our commitment to a more just and equitable future.

The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro is dedicated to supporting initiatives that uplift and empower diverse communities. Through programs like the Black Investments in Greensboro (BIG) Equity Fund and investments in Black-led and Black-serving organizations that drive economic mobility, education, health equity, and cultural vibrancy, our commitment extends beyond February—we continue to seek meaningful ways to foster opportunity, amplify Black voices, and ensure lasting impact throughout Greensboro.

Guilford County nonprofit offers behavioral health services to families

Kabrina Shamburger — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 15:57:57 +0000

For more than a decade, the Kellin Foundation has helped provide behavioral health services to the Greensboro community, and now thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, it will be able to expand even more.

“We don’t want to wait until families get into crisis to be able to get the help and support that they need,” says Kelly Graves, the President, CEO and Co-founder of the Kellin Foundation. “So we’re hoping that we can help fill that gap and provide support for community services, really focusing on that prevention and treatment side.”

For the past decade, she’s served the Greensboro and Guilford County communities, providing mental health resources for those who might not typically have access to them. She says the Kellin Foundation hub “extends that reach by providing not only the behavioral health services but other integrated services under one roof. So now a family that comes in for mental health services can also access other services.”

Those services are through other nonprofits that partner with Kellin to be able to help people no matter their age or needs. “We do serve families from ages zero to 110,” says Graves. “But we do value our multi-generational approach here.”

The foundation’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, Lisa Duck, says if one member of a family is struggling, then “the entire family has an issue or problem, and so we want to be here to make sure that we’re able to address that need.”

Duck says the foundation serves an astonishing 12,000 people, helping them with all sorts of mental health issues from depression and anxiety to substance abuse. Kellin also has other community services available including access to a food pantry and access to some primary health care on-site, but Kellin volunteer Tara Sandercock says, staff have noticed a gap in their coverage for seniors dealing with isolation, which has led them to the development of a new senior center.

The foundation is also looking for volunteers. That’s something Duck finds close to her heart. “Volunteerism has been something that I’ve been a part of for my whole life, and I encourage members of our community to jump in, pitch in, pick up a paint brush, jump in today, and I encourage everyone to be a part of our mission.”

To learn how you can donate or volunteer, you can go to the Kellin Foundation’s website.

Arc of Greensboro helps connect people with developmental disabilities with their community

Kabrina Shamburger — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 13:42:53 +0000

70 years ago, parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities wanted to find a way to change the public’s perception of their kids.

They wanted everyone to know their sons and daughters had extraordinary potential just like other children. From that grassroots movement, the Arc of Greensboro came to life, and with the help of the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, it’s still proving the possibilities are endless.

The day before Halloween, lines of cars and people in costumes filled the parking lot of the Arc of Greensboro, but this wasn’t an ordinary Halloween party. This trunk or treat invited the public in to mix with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities so they could see they’re just like everyone else.

“Our people are often marginalized and isolated, so to provide a place where not only they can come but we can invite the community in is tremendously important,” says Jamie Rauschkolb, an employee at the Arc. She says it’s “not just for us and the people we serve but for our entire community cohesively.”

This was the second year the Arc sponsored the Halloween event. Former employee Nancy Overby came back with her son. “It’s important because without those events, Nicholas and his peers would not have anything to do, and this is a great way for them to get together and just be involved.”

Getting people involved and out in the community is one of the Arc’s biggest goals. In addition to events such as the trunk or treat, the organization helps adults with disabilities find jobs and navigate challenges they may face after being hired. The agency’s executive director says it’s important for both participants as well as the general public.

The Arc of Greensboro is located on Battleground Court just off Battleground Avenue and West Wendover. You can get more information about the available programs at www.arcg.org.

StepUp Greensboro works to make positive change for people

Kabrina Shamburger — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 15:43:45 +0000

Motivating, equipping, and empowering people to find a better life. That is the mission of a nonprofit called StepUp Greensboro. With the help of the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, the agency is helping people make positive changes in their lives.

“We believe that every individual deserves an opportunity to enjoy life and to be successful, and we do that through training them and helping them build healthy relationships,” says StepUp Greensboro’s Executive Director, Anthony Bass. “It’s just important that an individual regardless of unemployment, underemployed, homeless, whatever their status may be, they still deserve to have an opportunity to enjoy life.”

At StepUp Greensboro, that opportunity comes with the chance to rekindle dreams that may have gotten lost along the way, but Bass says participants have to put in the work and the effort to make a lasting change and find success. “We can’t promise jobs, right? Because you got to do the application, you’re going to have to do, you know, make sure you got a good resume,” says Bass. “You’re going to go to the interview. But what we do promise is that their lives will never be the same because they are having an opportunity to step up into their life, step up to their future, be able to enjoy life and get tools as lifetime lasting. So why come to StepUp Greensboro? Because you’re ready and willing for change. If you’re ready, willing for change, StepUp Greensboro is a place to be.”

Participants at StepUp Greensboro focus on developing character, learning life skills, and building relationships with the volunteer staff. Bass says he’s had a former gang member find success after going through the program, making connections, and turning his life around. Bass says that man now has a family and showed off pictures of his kids. “He was so proud to be a dad working for the city of Greensboro, really doing great things. And so, I was just so proud to see his accomplishments.” Bass went on to say “there’s been some hiccups that goes along with it. So, that’s why we build those healthy relationships, to have individuals in place. So you don’t have to go back to where you were.”

StepUp Greensboro is located on North Elm Street in Greensboro. You can learn more about its programs, how to enroll, and how to volunteer online at www.stepupgreensboro.org.

Greensboro agency helps female veterans transition to civilian life

Kabrina Shamburger — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 13:34:43 +0000

They serve just like men in every branch of the U.S. military. They face the same battles and the same challenges. But when it’s time to come home, female veterans often find they face a different set of obstacles as a civilian, and they’re hurdles traditional veterans’ groups aren’t always equipped to deal with.

There’s one agency in Guilford County that’s uniquely qualified to help thanks in part to the support of the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro.

“We are sisters…We all get together and do what we got to do together for each other.”

That is the guiding mantra for Combat Female Veterans Families United. The group’s mission is to help women transition from military life to civilian life and to help women realize they may be on their own but never alone.

Veteran Lavinia Jackson says she had no idea what was available to grow locally. “I’ve been here 14, 15 years and didn’t know that we had such abundance at our fingertips and that we were welcome there to come and learn and plant.”

Army combat veteran Sarah Charles learned to garden and immediately started teaching others so they could grow their own food too. “When I was working at the church, I turned around and helped do the BOOTS2ROOTS for the group.”

And while the vegetables are growing, so is a tight-knit army of women who’ve traded military platoons for a support system of women who’ve been through similar battles.

“If you have some problems, they help you work through it. They make you feel good. Everybody gives you a hug when you come in. It’s just wonderful,” veteran Donna Paulsen says.

Cambodian Cultural Center helps preserve heritage in Greensboro

Kabrina Shamburger — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 14:20:24 +0000

Americans around the country will pause to celebrate Independence Day.

They’ll attend community events, host backyard barbecues with friends, and watch brightly-colored fireworks explode in the evening sky. Our ancestors came from different cultures, different countries and different backgrounds. While we collectively celebrate being Americans, we still try to preserve our cultural heritage, and one group in the Piedmont is working to do that in several ways.

The coconut dance is a folk dance often performed during Cambodian wedding ceremonies. On this day, it’s in celebration of the Lunar New Year with children from the Cambodian Cultural Center located in Greensboro.

“It was founded in 2012 in order to help preserve [Cambodian] cultural heritage,” says Treasurer An Strickland. “We offer programs such as arts and also community efforts and leadership and mentorship programs with our youth.” Strickland says it’s important to teach young Cambodian Americans the traditional arts, language and history of Cambodia.

In return, they help older Cambodian immigrants and refugees. “The programs that we offer are the traditional arts as far as dance culture,” she says. “We also do Cambodian literacy programs as well and a lot of community efforts to help our elderly and non-English speaking residents.”

Nearly 300,000 Cambodians escaped conflict and genocide in their homeland in the 1970s and sought refuge in the United States.

Many settled in Greensboro in 1982, and in 1986, they purchased land for Wat Greensboro, a Buddhist Center on Liberty Road in Greensboro.

The Cambodian Cultural Center has offices nearby. It relies on volunteers, but the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro helps through community grant programs.

“The community foundation has helped enhance our program itself as far as our cultural dance programs as well as showcasing our culture itself. We’ve offered cooking classes. They’ve been able to assist us with that, and we’re going to be starting a traditional classical music class as well,” says Strickland.

In addition, CCC offers community assistance with vegetable giveaways and vaccine clinics. If you want to learn more or if you would like to volunteer your time, visit https://www.cccofnc.org/
