On Monday, Spectrum announced a donation of $2,500 to Goldsboro-based non-profit 4 Day Movement through the company’s employee-driven grants program that recognizes the value of community service, Spectrum Employee Community Grants.

The 4 Day Movement exists to enrich and empower the underprivileged and those falling through the cracks of life by connecting their need(s) to the proper resource(s).

The vision of the 4 Day Movement is to see people acquire the physical, emotional, and/or spiritual necessities they lack, help stop the cycles of poverty, and restore families.

A check presentation will take place at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at The PORTAL at 1019 Royal Ave, Goldsboro.

Spectrum hosts a special recognition ceremony and check presentation with each of the nonprofits, the Spectrum employee volunteers, and other leaders to commemorate the donations.

Funding provided by Spectrum will support The PORTAL (Place of Outreach, Restoration, Transformation, Accountability & Love) which will provide temporary supportive housing and wraparound services to veterans and single moms with children.

Last year, Charter Communications, Inc., which operates the Spectrum brand of connectivity products and services, announced its commitment to award $2.5 million over the next five years to local nonprofits through Spectrum Employee Community Grants.

Charter pledges to support a minimum of 500 nonprofit organizations across its 41-state service area, impacting more than 70,000 community members, through 2028.

“Spectrum Employee Community Grants support local nonprofits that hold a meaningful connection to the Spectrum employees who nominate them, and to the communities they serve,” said Kat Kerr, Area Vice President, Eastern North Carolina. “We’re increasing our investment in the program, in support of our employees’ dedication to volunteer work and vital community organizations that enhance the lives of local residents.”

Launched in 2019, Spectrum Employee Community Grants support nonprofits nominated by employees with a personal connection to the organization through at least one year of their own volunteer work, including more than $290,000 in grants in North Carolina and more than $115,000 in grants in South Carolina.

Recipients deliver a broad range of critical social services to underserved community members, including food pantries, homeless shelters, clothing distribution, job training for veterans and paying overdue rent and utility bills for those in crisis.
