HAMPSTEAD, NC (WWAY) — The Poplar Grove Plantation is celebrating a generous donation from the new Walmart in Porters Neck.
Employees asked the community for help in April when their donation fund started running out. The plantation holds events throughout the year that are mostly free.
Executive Director Caroline Lewis says Walmart’s $1,500 donation is a great help, and the community’s response has also been very positive. According to a Facebook post, they plan to use that money for a drinking fountain and hand-washing station.
