Spaulding Center is fundraising
Spaulding Campus Restoration
The Spaulding Family Resource Center is asking for financial help to restore their original campus so that they can operate there again.
Spaulding’s campus carries significant cultural and sentimental value within our community and surrounding areas. It came to be after local African Americans in Spring Hope, North Carolina donated land for their children to attend school there. Along with help from the Julius Rosenwald Fund (which donated millions to start African American schools in rural communities), Nash County and the Nash-Rocky Mount School System also matched funds to help Spaulding come to be. However, after its schooling days in 2018, the building was auctioned by the school system to a private owner. The Spaulding Family Resource Center and Spaulding Alumni could not win their beloved school back, causing the resource center to have to move to a different location.
The Spaulding building has been donated back to the resource center, yet, they face a lot of expenses ahead. Work and repairs are needed inside and outside of the building so that the resource center can thrive again.
Pictured below are some of the damages that we are fundraising for:
Every contribution helps. Spaulding's supporters are very grateful for your donations!
