2020 Year of Giving
NourishNC and City Club of Wilmington team up to help meet increased demand amidst pandemic.
Club initiation fee can now go towards providing healthy food to hungry children.
Wilmington, NC: For the remainder of 2020, City Club will reduce its new member initiation fee from $1500 to $500 and the joining member can decide which participating charity they would like to benefit. Personal and corporate memberships are available, with 100% of the funds going to the charity. During the month of June, NourishNC will be the featured cause.
“Since the onset of COVID-19, NourishNC has seen a drastic increase in the number of children we serve. NourishNC is committed to feeding food insecure children throughout COVID-19, the long summer months ahead, and beyond,” said Steve McCrossan, Executive Director of NourishNC.
“$500 will feed one child every weekend and during all school breaks for one entire year. That’s a big impact for our neighbors right here in New Hanover County,” said Jonathan Weiss, Managing Partner of City Club of Wilmington. All interested parties should contact Lucy Pekatos, City Club Membership Director, at 910-232-7890 or lucy@cityclubofwilmington.com.
