Three local community groups receive a Christmastime surprise from the Wayne County Human Resources Association.

The WCHRA presented checks to the three local non-profits on the steps of Goldsboro City Hall on Tuesday.

Bernadette Dove is the HR Director for the City of Goldsboro and the President of the WCHRA.

She says the money comes from the organization’s dues and fundraising efforts.

Checks for $1,000 each were presented to Cry Freedom Missions, the HGDC Community Crisis Center, and Kriquette’s Kids.

Those organizations were nominated for donations by members of the WCHRA.

The WCHRA is an organization of human resources professionals in Wayne County and the surrounding area.
