GREENSBORO — NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams will feature Greensboro artist William Mangum and his holiday honor card program Friday on their Making a Difference feature.
Mangum was filmed this week at work at the Greensboro Urban Ministry, which provides a host of services and support to the homeless, at his gallery and at locations around Greensboro that inspired scenes on past honor cards, according to a news release from Greensboro Urban Ministry.
Each year, the honor card features a painting by Mangum. With a donation of $5 or more, a person receives an honor card that he or she inscribes to someone they wish to “honor.” The program has raised more than $2.6 million for homelessness in North Carolina since 1988.
For more information about the honor card, call the William Mangum Fine Art Gallery at 379-9200 or go to www.thehonorcard.org.
