In just two months, FLAG Clayton, NC

has raised $17,000 and served 1,800 meals to the front line workers in Johnston County.

Melissa Brown started this FLAG chapter in Clayton. She has made a significant impact on the community by using the money raised to buy meals from local restaurants and deliver them to the hospital workers that need it most.

We interviewed Melissa to share how she has supported our economy and healthcare workers and what her next initiative is.

An elderly woman in Clayton was too scared to go grocery shopping because of the pandemic, so the Clayton Rotary Club stepped in and went shopping for her. While helping her out, they found out that it was her birthday. So they got her a birthday card, and it was unexpected and made her day. That's one of the many acts of kindness the Rotary Club has done in Johnston County. Still, not too many people know about the good stuff they're doing because it's behind the scenes. Justin interviewed the President of the Clayton Rotary Club, Ian Rumbles, to uncover all of their initiatives.
