Sharing from our friends at the Winston-Salem Police Department!!

“Celebrate responsibly this Independence Day weekend!

This week we will be participating in the 2026 Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker campaign in partnership with the Governor's Highway Safety Program.

Drivers can expect to see a large police presence throughout the holiday weekend, including increased patrols, license checkpoints, and high-visibility traffic enforcement. Our goal is simple: keep our roads safe and prevent impaired driving before tragedy strikes.

If you're celebrating, plan for a sober ride home. Designate a driver, use a rideshare, call a friend, or stay where you are if you've been drinking.

Make safety part of your celebration:
▪️Never drive impaired
▪️ Buckle up
▪️Obey the speed limit
▪️Keep children properly restrained

Let's work together to ensure everyone arrives home safely. Have a fun, safe, and happy Fourth of July!”

Congratulations to Emily Harkins, a 2025 Everyday Award winner!🏅
✨
Emily serves as the Lead Pastor and Mission Developer of The Dwelling in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She founded The Dwelling in 2020 and has been serving in this role ever since, helping grow a community rooted in radical hospitality, shared meals, worship, and advocacy alongside our neighbors. Her work brings together people from many different walks of life, especially those who have experienced housing instability or marginalization, to build a community where everyone is known, valued, and has a place at the table.
✨
The Dwelling is building a space where labels (created by society) fall away and people are known by their names, their stories, and their gifts. When people share space, meals, leadership, and life together across differences, something powerful happens. It reminds us that a more compassionate, more connected way of being together is possible.
✨
One thing Emily is especially passionate about in Winston-Salem is building a community that refuses to look away from our neighbors who are struggling. She cares deeply about the work happening here to address homelessness and housing instability, and about bringing people together across churches, nonprofits, and neighborhoods to create real solutions. Winston-Salem has the kind of heart and collaboration that makes it possible to model what a city can look like when people choose dignity, belonging, and shared responsibility for one another.

Congratulations to Carloe Moser, a 2025 Everyday Award winner!🏅
✨
Carloe was born and raised in Winston-Salem. He has been working to support youth in foster care since 2018. Since 2023, he has been the Coordinator of the LIGHHT program at Crosby Scholars. The LIGHHT program helps youth in care navigate through middle and high school with consistency, support, and resources, by bringing college and career awareness and building a toolkit for life.
✨
Carloe wants to help people see the jewel inside of themselves and know that the work is not meant to be done alone. As his mentor told him in college, “life is all about relationships. The rest is just details.”
✨
One of Carloe’s favorite things about Winston-salem is the number and breadth of small businesses. He is passionate about supporting local business whenever possible.
