NEW HANOVER COUNTY (WWAY) — This free event, hosted by Port City United is called “Fresh Chance Friday” and will be held at the MLK center in Wilmington from 2-5pm on January 27th.

Port City United Connect supervisor Rashad Gattison sees this as a second chance for people.

“Port City United in general is just an opportunity for us to go in and help the community. Lot of times people put band-aids on wounds and problems that they have, and we try to go in and heal them and help people be sustainable in they life and I think this an opportunity for them to get a second chance at whatever situation they go in to and be able to be sustainable in life.”
