PowerUp NC invites Raleigh residents to Robert’s Park Community Center on Saturday, August 29, for a community conversation about sustainability, resilient neighborhoods and environmentally responsible development.

This summer’s extreme heat and rising electricity bills have made the need for action increasingly clear. The event will explore practical ways residents, community leaders and local programs can work together to create healthier neighborhoods where buildings and development support the environment instead of working against it.

Addressing High Utility Bills and Community Challenges

Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss the environmental and economic challenges affecting Raleigh households. The gathering is designed to give residents useful information while ensuring their experiences and ideas are included in the conversation.

Participants can expect to leave with:

• Actionable ideas for addressing extreme heat, energy costs and environmental concerns.
• Information about local programs offering free or low-cost home maintenance assistance.
• A better understanding of how sustainable development can strengthen Raleigh neighborhoods.
• Opportunities to connect with residents who care about sustainability and community resilience.

Free Food and Raffle Prizes

The event is open to residents who are passionate about sustainability, concerned about rising utility bills or simply interested in learning about available community resources.

Everyone who registers will receive free food and automatically be entered into a raffle for a chance to win prizes. Advance registration is encouraged, but residents who have not registered are still invited to participate.
