Our Story
Our founder, Cedrick Parker, started Adventist Community Restoration Center in 2019, but its origin story begins in 1999. That year, as a young man living in Greensboro, he experienced a loss that would have a significant impact on his values, his goals and his career.
In 1999, he lost a childhood friend to gun violence. His friend was unfortunately labeled, just another statistic. A young black man from a broken home in a broken community. Another young black man taken too soon from an environment that never gave him a fair chance. Experiencing this, Cedric started to make observations and ask questions.
What if…….
Ongoing Causes
Single actions are great in the short-term, but Adventist Community Restoration Center believes that true transformation of the community only begins when organizations take consistent action. Consistent action builds trust within the community, allows for a measurable impact, and provides a platform for the community to continually see their true value.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Distribution Program
While the fight against the food desert of East Greensboro continues, Adventist Community Restoration Center fills the gap by providing weekly access to fresh fruit and produce to individuals and families. This weekly food distribution initiative has helped the community take steps towards a healthier existence while diminishing food insecurities within the East Greensboro area.
Bi-Weekly Dinner Meals Distribution for our Youth
The school lunch program is a valuable program that many young people in the East Greensboro community utilize. Unfortunately this program only provides two of the three meals a day each child needs to survive. Our Bi-Weekly Dinner Meal Distribution program fills in this gap for our young people ages 0-18 in the East Greensboro Community. We take the burden and stress from families struggling to make ends meet by ensuring no child in East Greensboro has to go to bed hungry.
