Children in our community need your help! Currituck Extension's 4-H program initiated a nationally known program six years ago called 4-H Backpacks for Kids. The Currituck 4-H Backpacks for Kids program discreetly provides nutritious, easy-to-prepare food to chronically hungry children on weekends during the school year. Citizens can visit the 4-H Backpacks for Kids website for details about the program, or to make contributions: www.backpacksforkidscurrituck.org. Donations can also be received at the Currituck Extension Center located at 120 Community Way in Barco.

A cool breeze blew as the participants of the 2016 Currituck County Run at Work 5k, lined up Friday, September 16th, to start an interesting and winding course through the soon to be completed Community Way Park. The fierce competition in the eyes of those in front and the light hearted smiles of everyone else brought a good mix of people to the FREE 5k, sponsored by NC State Extension and Currituck County Government.
