Community Generosity Shines: Carteret Craven Electric Cooperative Donates to Havelock High School’s Angel Fund

In a heartwarming display of community spirit and support for education, the Carteret Craven Electric Cooperative has generously donated $1,000 to the Angel Fund at Havelock High School. This vital fund ensures that students who may otherwise not have the funds for a meal receive the nourishment they need during the school day.

The Angel Fund, established to assist schools with negative account balances due to students not having money for meals, is crucial in maintaining a supportive and inclusive environment at Havelock High School. With this significant contribution from Carteret Craven Electric Cooperative, the fund will be able to continue its mission of providing meals to those in need, helping to eliminate one of the barriers that can impact a student's ability to focus and succeed academically.

Havelock High School Principal, Ms. Claudia Casey, expressed her gratitude for the donation. "We are incredibly thankful to Carteret Craven Electric Cooperative for their generous support. This donation will make a real difference in the lives of our students, ensuring that no one goes hungry and that every student has the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing environment."

The Angel Fund is designed to be a safety net for students and their families. It allows the school to offer meals without the stigma or embarrassment that might be associated with seeking help. By covering the cost of meals for those who need it, the fund helps to create a supportive school community.

Carteret Craven Electric Cooperative has a long history of supporting local schools, and this latest donation is a testament to its commitment to fostering positive outcomes for young people in the area. Their contribution not only addresses immediate needs but also sets an inspiring example of how local organizations can contribute to students' well-being.

As the school year progresses, Havelock High School and the Angel Fund will continue to rely on the support of local partners and community members to ensure that all students can focus on their education without the added stress of hunger.

The generosity of Carteret Craven Electric Cooperative not only alleviates immediate needs but also highlights the power of community support in making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.
