Pee Wee Homes’ Groundbreaking Pee Wee Homes broke ground on its third development of tiny homes in Chapel Hill – its second in the Northside neighborhood – on July 18. This new tinyplex project will provide independent housing that totals fewer than 700 square feet for two future residents who are transitioning out of homelessness. “The support from the community to make the PWH vision a reality is absolutely inspiring,” says the Rev. Lisa G. Fischbeck of The Episcopal Church of the Advocate, the first church site to host PWH. Photography by Jonathan Youngpenn

Meals on Wheels Orange County, NC Ice-Cream Drive-Thru Chapel Hill-Carrboro Meals on Wheels and Orange County Rural Alliance merged to form Meals on Wheels Orange County, NC in June in order to address the challenges of increasing hunger and isolation among older adults in the community. To show appreciation for its volunteers who persevered through the difficulties of COVID-19 and the merger, MOWOCNC hosted an ice-cream drive-thru event at its new location on Laurel Hill Road in July. Volunteers stayed in their cars while enjoying celebratory signs by Card My Yard Chapel Hill, and picked up a new car magnet and prepackaged Maple View Farm Ice Cream cups.
