Goldsboro, N.C. — The Leadership Wayne Class of 2025–2026 proudly announces its partnership with the Blessing Box, GOLDsboro as this year’s community impact project.  This initiative focuses on combating food insecurity and supporting families throughout Wayne County. 

Founded in 2017, the Blessing Box, GOLDsboro provides free, easily accessible food and personal care items to community members in need. With multiple boxes located throughout the county, the organization operates on a simple yet powerful principle: “Take what you need, leave what you can.”

“Leadership Wayne is honored to partner with such a worthy and impactful organization,” the class shared. “The Blessing Box , GOLDsboro continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of families across our community, and we are excited to contribute to their mission.”

As part of this initiative, Leadership Wayne will host a series of fundraisers and community-wide food collection events over the coming months. These efforts will help ensure each Blessing Box location remains consistently stocked and accessible, especially during periods of high need.

The class will also work alongside the Blessing Box team to support sustainability efforts, increase community engagement, and enhance long-term impact.
