Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods

06/05/2026

📢 We’re proud of our own Curtis Friday Sr., Program Manager for Forsyth WINS / Cure Violence, Winston, Salem, who recently represented Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods at the NC SAFE Press Conference!

Curtis Friday Sr. joined leaders from across North Carolina to help raise awareness of the importance of secure firearm storage and its role in preventing injuries, theft, and unauthorized access.

At Forsyth WINS / Cure Violence, Winston, Salem, we know that creating safer communities requires all of us, residents, organizations, partners, and community leaders, working together.

Thank you to NC SAFE and all of the partners committed to prevention, education, and community safety.

💙 Together, we can build safer, stronger communities.

We have something important to share with our community.

This year has been one of our most challenging. Our funding landscape shifted, and we had to face that honestly. We made hard decisions to protect what matters most: our team, our programs, and our presence in this community.

Then something beautiful happened.

Carolina Complete Health, United Way of Forsyth County, Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, and The Winston-Salem Foundation stepped in with critical support that kept us moving forward. We are deeply grateful.

But we still have a gap to close. And that is where you come in.

We are hosting a special virtual fundraising breakfast and we want you at the table.

As Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods moves through a period of stabilization and transition, we’re taking a brief pause on Organizers’ Circle today.

This moment allows us to be thoughtful about capacity and to ensure our gatherings remain grounded, consistent, and supportive of resident leadership and community voice.

We’re grateful for the patience, trust, and continued engagement of our community.

Organizers’ Circle will resume this month and will move forward on a consistent schedule: 4th Tuesdays | 12:30 PM | via Zoom

We look forward to reconnecting soon and continuing to hold space for shared learning, connection, and collective impact.
