Good Neighbor Day returns to Joyner Park September 16, volunteers needed

Good Neighbor Day (GND) returns to E. Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road, Saturday, Sept. 16, from 1-4 p.m. Hosted by the Human Relations Council (HRC), GND is an annual celebration that assembles Wake Forest residents from all walks of life for a day of free food, fun, and family entertainment. By bringing together a mix of cultures, music, ages and ethnicities, the event celebrates diversity and promotes goodwill among all Wake Forest citizens.

Volunteers are critical to the success of the event and needed at various times between noon and 5 p.m. Volunteer duties will be general in nature and may include setting up, cleaning up, answering questions, and assisting attendees.

Local civic groups and community organizations are especially encouraged to participate, along with local students interested in earning community service hours.

For more information or to sign up to volunteer, email Human Resources Director Angela McCray at [email protected].  

Over 4,000 Wake Forest-area residents have participated in Good Neighbor Day since its inception in 2006. Offering food, dancing, local musicians, a DJ, giveaways, and recreational activities for both children and adults, this family-oriented celebration promises something for everyone.

The HRC encourages diversity and promotes goodwill among all citizens of Wake Forest. Good Neighbor Day serves as a catalyst for carrying out the town’s vision of “building a community populated by diverse groups whose common bond is a love of our town.” For more information about Good Neighbor Day, visit https://bit.ly/WFGoodNeighborDay.
