RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) Unity Day is Saturday and the city of Raleigh is celebrating the day in a much different way because of the pandemic.
Normally, the city marks the day with an event full of entertainment, but this year, it will hold a COVID-19 care package drive-thru giveaway at Southeast Raleigh High School from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Volunteers and members of Unify Raleigh prepared the packages for the event. The packages include food, PPE, blankets, items for children and resources for families. It s open to anybody who is in need, but we are focused on the ZIP code right there in southeast Raleigh that has been the hardest hit, explained Dr. Audrea Caesar, Executive Director of Raleigh Human Relations Commission.
