Community Scorecard Breakfast was a powerful demonstration of how we can impact positive change in Cumberland County. Chancellor Anderson of Fayetteville State University shared his life story and brought everyone to tears with the realization that simple acts of giving, caring and reaching out can change the path of a young person's life.
The scorecard on the status of women and children in Cumberland County showed improvements in some areas but a shocking trend of homelessness increasing for women and children. A lively give and take discussion followed and we can all say, with a great degree of certainty, that a shift of awareness will arise from this meeting and we will all be the change we want to see in our community!
