The Town of Knightdale understands that some of our residents will be negatively impacted by the potential loss or delay of federal financial resources in the coming days. We are partners with both the State of North Carolina and Wake County and have pulled together resources available to help at-risk community members with support and assistance. We wanted to make sure you were aware of them. Please see the descriptions below and the relevant documents in each section. Visit https://bit.ly/KdaleCares for a list of resources provided by the Eastern Regional Center, or ncdhhs.gov/shutdown for available state resources. #KnightdaleCares |
