The Tarboro Women’s Club recently presented the ECC Foundation with a check totaling $900. The money will be placed in the Tarboro Women’s Club Final Steps to Success Fund. It will be used to help students in the Welding and Collision Repair programs purchase tools, equipment, uniforms or other materials essential to their success as they enhance their workforce development training.

Recipients of the funds must be a full-time student at ECC, an Edgecombe County resident and have a financial need.

The Tarboro Women’s Club has been serving Tarboro and Edgecombe County since 1952. One aspect of the organization’s mission is to support the local community and encourage charitable giving.

“We are so appreciative of the support from the members of the Tarboro Women’s Club,” said Tameka Kenan-Norman, executive director of Public Information and Institutional Advancement. “From the beginning of our conversations, the members stated the importance of hiring Edgecombe County residents for jobs in areas like manufacturing, construction, vehicle repair and maintenance and more. They were enthusiastic about ensuring students are equipped with the proper resources for career success, students who can soon help them if needed.”
