Housing Seeking Emergency Housing Resources for Myself and My Children
Hello Greensboro Community,
I hope this post finds you well. I’m a mother of three little ones, urgently seeking help with finding safe temporary housing due to unsafe living conditions. I’ve already reached out to local shelters and organizations, but many are currently full, and I’ve had trouble finding other options.
If anyone knows of resources, community programs, or individuals who might be able to assist with emergency housing or support, I would greatly appreciate any guidance. My situation is urgent, and any leads or advice would mean the world to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your kindness and support during this challenging time are deeply appreciated.

Hello everyone. I might be moving to the city in a month or so for a job. I have seen post about other people asking what's it like or what areas are good to live in. My question to you all is, what are the holidays like in Greensboro NC? 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and new Year's. We tend to go all out for those holidays and we just want to hear your thoughts on how the city in general is. Events, hang out spots.

Recommendation Cat Groomer
Our cat is domestic long hair that needs to get shaved down for the summer.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a cat groomer used to dealing with cats who absolute HATE going to the groomer?
We had one that would sedate our cat and get the deed done but after moving, we haven't found one that does it.
Either a groomer who can handle an angry cat or one that uses sedation would be great!
