The Roanoke Rapids Public Library has benefited from Fybe’s We Care Days.

The broadband company, a subsidiary of Roanoke Cooperative, also held We Care Days events in Lewiston-Woodville and at West Bertie County Elementary School.

In Roanoke Rapids, the group of volunteers planted flowers, painted handrails, and washed away dirt and grime by pressure-washing sidewalks, stains on the building, and the mounted fish — part of the Roanoke Valley Rocks campaign.

“The Roanoke Rapids Public Library staff and patrons are grateful to the team from Fybe for their dedicated attention and care in enhancing the library's exterior and landscaping,” said Head Librarian Leigh Ann Brodsky. “By investing in these improvements, your goal of creating the most welcoming and inviting environment for the community has received a significant boost. The efforts put into this project by Fybe have surely helped move the library in the right direction, ensuring that it remains a valuable resource and gathering place for the community.”

We Care Days were established to focus Fybe’s philanthropic efforts within its service areas through various hands-on projects. 

In Bertie County the projects included the Hive House and West Bertie Elementary School.

The Hive House in Lewiston-Woodville is a community center and non-profit afterschool program for young men in grades 6-12. 

Volunteers at this location focused on beautification efforts on the exterior of the organization’s building, planting flowers and shrubs and repairing and painting the porch and handicap ramp railings.

West Bertie Elementary School is a Title I school that serves over 200 students in West Bertie. The Fybe team’s volunteers used their collective skills to enhance the school’s marquee sign by planting flowers and shrubs, replacing the mailbox, and mulching multiple areas at the front of the school.

"We are deeply committed to positively impacting the people we serve," said Bo Coughlin, COO of Fybe. “We Care Day is just one of the ways we demonstrate our dedication to giving back and supporting our local communities. We are excited about the future growth of this project and the ongoing transformation we can achieve together.”

Fybe has committed to hosting more We Care Days in the future. The team plans to volunteer in the communities they serve at least once a quarter.
