OUR VISION

JUST PEOPLE NOW, INC., a 501(c) (3) non-profit  charitable organization located in Lenoir, North Carolina, seeks to help others who are in need by giving of their time, talents and resources with the objective of improving living conditions for all.

 

  • Organized in the mid-1990's with the goal to unite the Lenoir community and promote fellowship among its citizens

  • Organization became one of the key resources for needy children and their families.

  • Re-organized in 2006 to assist in equipping at-risk children with confidence and character education to succeed academically, promote cultural pride and build self-esteem.

 

JPN has been changing lives in the community since 2006 and has been increasing its impact each year. The key focus areas of JPN continue to be at-risk children and their families.  Many of our children are caught in a continuous loop and unable to rise above self-imposed limitations.  JPN is committed to helping youngsters break free and realize their innate potential.  Our goal is to change lives generationally through our outreach, education and life experience programs.

 

Being good is commendable, but only when it is combined with doing good is it useful.
