Boys & Girls Club
Many dedicated individuals are trying to offer hope, encouragement, opportunity, and resources to children in our area by bringing a Boys and Girls Club to Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Pine Knolls Community Center is actively assisting these efforts through publicity, fundraising, and using Juneteenth as a forum.
