Nexstar Founder's Day of Caring returns to Huntsville
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — News 19 is happy to announce that we will participate in Nexstar Media Group's 29th annual Founder's Day of Caring.
Nexstar's Founder's Day of Caring happens each year in June. It allows employees the opportunity to volunteer work during the workday at non-profit and public service organizations in the local communities served by Nexstar television stations.
You can learn more about the organizations we are helping below:
From Infant University to Family Connections and Next Steps programs, the Village of Promise is committed to helping families advance out of generational poverty. The organization is building a pipeline of services from cradle to college and career that supports and inspires success.
We are proud to include the Village of Promise in our Nexstar Founders Day of Caring. News 19 will prepare the VoP classrooms for the Preschool and Kindergarten scholars to learn and grow. Cleaning and organizing is the strategy of the day at VOP.
If you've heard the quote, 'If you can read this, thank a teacher,' then you know this next organization is valuable.
Free 2 Teach is a teacher resource partnership that provides materials to every educator from Huntsville City, Madison County, Athens City and Limestone County schools.
Teachers can browse materials and supplies at Free 2 Teach once a month, taking anything they need.
In 2024, nearly $1.8 million in supplies were distributed, and 36,000 children were impacted. That's an average of $450 per teacher per visit, and for teachers, these resources are free.
Our opportunity with Free 2 Teach includes organizing supplies and materials, including science experiment kits.
Additionally, we are taking supply donations for each. We ask that you consider donating items to help these amazing local organizations. Fliers are around the building with specific needs.
