From Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Plain

Goodwill Community Foundation has made a $55,000 investment in Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Plain. This grant will directly benefit more than 450 youth in Greenville, Snow Hill, Kinston, Robersonville, Washington and Belhaven. Representatives from Goodwill Community Foundation joined club executives for check presentations at the Washington Unit in Beaufort County and the Jarvis Unit in Greenville.
