We’re reaching the mid-year mark, and much has happened around the Cape Fear River Basin already. Let’s catch up! Our next seminar is a special one, as we hear an advocacy update from our Executive Director and Cape Fear Riverkeeper Kemp Burdette. Kemp will dive deeper into the advocacy campaigns you’ve seen us working on—from PFAS to the proposed port expansion and everything in-between—and share how you can take action, too.

🗓️: Saturday, June 6th at 9:00 a.m.
📍: CFRW Office (617 Surry St.)
🥞: Join us before the seminar at 8 a.m. to warm up with free coffee and pancakes, plus the chance to meet our new summer interns!

Please note: our front door is currently out of use due to ongoing renovations, follow the signs and use our side door for seminar entry.

Operation BBQ Relief (a national nonprofit that provides free meals to people after they’ve been impacted by a natural disaster) is inviting people to come to a new volunteer culinary disaster training event. Anyone is welcome and can sign up to be a volunteer with Operation BBQ Relief. No experience is necessary to become a volunteer, just a willingness to serve. Together, the organization shares the healing power of BBQ with communities when they need it most. When catastrophic events hit communities across the country, OBR deploys volunteers in a coordinated response to help everyone in need in that area. Volunteers might find themselves running smokers, plating meals, serving families, or keeping inventory organized during a deployment in these impacted local communities. During the free volunteer training event, volunteers will learn how they can serve with Operation BBQ Relief across the country and will also learn a variety of food prep information and food safety.

Join us for LINC Milestones 2027, an inspiring evening celebrating progress, perseverance, and the power of second chances. Together, we’ll reflect on the lives changed through LINC’s work, honor the journeys of those we serve, and look ahead to what’s possible when opportunity meets support.

Enjoy a meaningful night of connection, storytelling, and community as we celebrate the milestones that matter most.

More details coming soon—save the date and be part of something impactful.
