Today is a National Day of Service, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. While schools and many businesses are closed, the goal is for people to do good and serve their community- to make today a day on, not off. Above is a person, Quaneisha Payne, serves the Greensboro community daily. Quaneisha, a graduate of Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina, now works for AmeriCorps in Greensboro. Based out of the AmeriCorps office in the Glenwood Community, Quaneisha helps homeless veterans.
Last week, Quaneisha was voted January Member of the Month by the AmeriCorps Partnership to End Homelessness. Frequently, Quaneisha facilitates opportunities for others to perform community service. This past weekend she was working with UNCG students who were spending the day serving. The above photo was taken when Quaneisha was speaking to students at the Middle College at UNCG, her alma mater. To be sure, today, Quaneisha Payne will be serving our community and inspiring others with her every action. May we all have her same drive to bring about positive change. Thank you, Quaneisha, for being an inspiration to us all and for making a difference!
Need more people like Quaneisha!
