Valecia Jones is Friday’s Hometown Hero.

She’s been with the PTA Thrift Shops her entire life.  For the past 16 years, she’s been the organization’s operations director.  Executive Director Barbara Jessie-Black says she’s the glue that holds it all together.

All net profits from PTA Thrift Shop stores are divided among Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools’ PTAs according to student population and volunteer hours. The PTA Thrift Shop is a major source of funding for all elementary school PTAs and for virtually every club, team, music group and other student organization in the middle and high schools.

You can nominate your own Hometown Hero.  WCHL has honored local members of our community everyday since 2002.
