The City of Greensboro’s Office of Community Safety together with the local chapter of Black Men United are inviting area residents and their families to come out to the “Community Giveaway and Resource Event” next weekend – where people will find food, entertainment, and items that are all priced at zero dollars and zero cents.

It will also be an event where attendees can learn how to connect with government services or community organizations that may be able to fill certain needs.

The combination party, giveaway and social resources event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23.

It will all be happening at Cumberland Courts Park at 479-499 N. Regan St. in Greensboro.

The Community Giveaway and Resource Event will feature food, music, and, as the name implies, items such as new clothes, shoes, cleaning supplies and much more will be given away.

Community-based organizations and government resources representatives will be on site to share information about the services they provide.

The goal of the City of Greensboro’s Office of Community Safety is to use “community-driven responses to enhance the public safety infrastructure.”

The Office’s mission statement reads, “Guided by core beliefs of co-production, partnership, equality, and integrity, the office pairs community-centered initiatives with trained, dedicated professionals equipped to address specific needs and provide greater access to social services.”

The Office of Community Safety works with both public safety professionals and neighborhood leaders in an attempt to arrive at the best outcomes for every resident.

Black Men United has the theme: “Boots on the Ground, Putting Community First.”

 It’s a national community service organization that focuses on restoring and rebuilding communities of color across the country.

It’s mission is to “Create an alliance of men of African descent to mobilize our resources and empower our communities through Economics, Safety, and Spirituality which will restore pride back to the black family, while practicing being anti-nobody, building bridges and not walls.”
