about The Project

Harnett Cares is an upcoming project designed to take a creative approach to community engagement and support.

A New Way to Do Community

How It Works

Harnett Cares will bring people, ideas, and systems together into a shared platform that supports collaboration, creativity, and connection. By building this relational and informational infrastructure, the project will make it easier for everyone — residents, businesses, and organizations — to find what they need, contribute where they can, and connect in ways that matter

 That means:

  • A centralized website for events, services, and updates

  • A community calendar and directory and connection hub

  • Platforms for community engagement, storytelling and entertainment

  • Tools that make it easier for residents to navigate local life

  • and so much more!

The Framework

Bringing the Mission to Life

Harnett Cares is built on six key components.

Each part will play a role in strengthening community connections, increasing access to information, and supporting Harnett County.

HarnettCares.com — Where everything local comes together.

Harnett Hub — Where connections happen.

Harnett Cares TV — Where information meets inspiration.

The Harnett Care Squad — Where care becomes community.

Impact Harnett — Where change takes shape.

Harnett Insights — Where opportunity starts.

Why It’s Needed

In today’s world, public infrastructure isn’t just about roads and buildings — it’s about systems that connect people to resources, opportunities, and each other. Communities need more than services. They need frameworks that help those services reach the people who need them — and allow those people to actively shape the future of their community.

Across rural areas like Harnett County, residents, businesses, and organizations often face challenges such as disconnected information, duplicated efforts, and limited visibility. A unified community framework can help bridge those gaps and create a more connected and resilient local network.

What It Aims to Solve

Many communities — especially in rural areas like Harnett County — face barriers that make it harder for people to access resources, stay informed, and feel connected. Without a central hub or shared framework, residents, businesses, and organizations struggle to work together efficiently — leading to missed connections, underutilized services, and gaps in support.

Through this new creative framework, Harnett Cares aims to solve these challenges by:

 

  • Strengthening local partnerships

  • Enhancing small business vitality

  • Advancing access to opportunity

  • Fostering local pathways to success

  • Supporting business retention and expansion

  • Contributing to local capacity building

  • Empowering communities through access

  • Encouraging cross-sector collaboration

  • Reinforcing a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem

  • Promoting meaningful public-private partnerships

Project Objectives

This vision includes ongoing plans to contribute meaningfully to local economic stability, in ways that reflect the needs and strengths of the community. It’s not about replacing what’s already working — it’s about amplifying it, connecting it, and filling the gaps with purpose and creativity.

What makes Harnett Cares unique?

Harnett Cares is a new kind of community initiative.

It’s not here to reinvent the wheel — it’s here to pave the road!

It’s different because it is uniquely designed to support and amplify the work of local nonprofits, agencies, and community groups by helping people find and connect with them more easily.

The project focuses on amplifying the incredible efforts already happening across the county and helping to bridge the gaps between them. Harnett Cares aims to create stronger connections where silos currently exist.

Rooted in collaboration, creativity, and connection, the initiative is about supporting the whole community at every level. Through a 360° communication strategy and a unified ecosystem, Harnett Cares is building a shared space where ideas, support, and opportunities can flow — creating pathways that elevate everyone.
