Blackbelt Women Rising was honored to participate in Art and Healing: Stories of the Blackbelt in Akron!
It was a beautiful celebration of culture, connection, healing, and community. We enjoyed connecting with fellow organizations and sharing information about the resources and services BBWR provides across the seven Black Belt counties we serve.

Today, on National Nonprofit Day, Blackbelt Women Rising wants to celebrate the incredible nonprofit organizations, leaders, volunteers, and community champions who continue to show up and do the work. Nonprofits are often the ones filling gaps, connecting people to resources, educating our communities, serving families, advocating for change, and stepping up when there is nowhere else to turn.

To every local nonprofit in the Blackbelt even those who work on our behalf: WE SEE YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU. AND WE THANK YOU!

If you are interested in volunteering, PLEASE CALL 334-231-7050

We truly enjoyed Epes Day yesterday! From the Mr. & Mrs. Epes Day Pageant to the delicious pigtails, we had an amazing time being part of the community.

A special thank you to PdnFul Ful for providing the water slide and basketball inflatable they were a huge hit!

We also want to extend our sincere thanks to the Mayor and Town Council for hosting such a wonderful day and for taking the time to engage with the community. Your efforts and dedication made this event truly special.

Epes Day was a success, and we look forward to next year! 💙

We were proud to attend the Protect Our Rural Communities meeting in Demopolis last night, led by Katherine Eddins.
It was inspiring to see communities from across Alabama's Black Belt come together to learn, collaborate, and strengthen our region through shared knowledge and collective action. Together, we are building a stronger future for our communities.
