Our community is fighting back against the COVID-19 threat by staying home and staying apart. That means protecting ourselves and our neighbors by learning, studying and working from home. Having a reliable internet connection at home is something most of us take for granted, but for many people in our community the lack of a reliable internet connection is putting students and families behind.

We need your help to ensure that everyone in Alamance County has the ability to participate in classes, submit homework or simply fill out job applications online. If you have a space in your business, building or parking lot where you can provide a wireless connection to the public you can be part of the solution. We are creating a map of everywhere that our community can access a reliable internet connection. That may be in a restaurant, a church or simply a designated space in your parking lot.

Will you help us by participating as a Community Connect Partner? Please fill out this short survey. We will contact you with details and help you make your wireless connection available to those in need.
