About US

Weldon In Action is a coalition of current and former residents of Weldon, North Carolina seeking to revitalize the historic small town.  Stemming from a brainstorming session with former Mayor Julia Meacham and rising momentum from former residents on Facebook, Weldon In Action started on July 8, 2021 with a group of 12 people, comprised of town officials, current and former residents and key county leaders.  The group has since tripled in size and we have numerous projects underway.  Our projects come from the people. Each year, we ask those who come to Weldon In Action meetings, what they see as important to the future of the town. Our activities are built on those discussions. Soon we hope to develop a survey that reaches all citizens so they can express their vision for their town, even if they can’t attend one of our meetings or join a team.

The original fouding group also started Restoration Weldon, an IRS designated 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization to raise money for large scale projects in Weldon without having to rely exclusively on public funds.  Fundraising events and activities have started with our newly-formed events team. Restoration Weldon has a 7-12 member board, chosen from participants in the Weldon In Action coalition.
