Please buckle up for this Memorial Day week. Starting Monday, May 23, 2022. Currituck County Sheriff’s Office will be handing out citations to unbuckled motorists and passengers during the annual Memorial Day Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign, which runs until Sunday, June 5, 2022.

Wearing a seatbelt while in both the front and back seats of a moving vehicle is the law in Currituck and throughout North Carolina. We do this all year; however, the campaign runs statewide for this busy holiday traffic week.

In 2021, 555 unbuckled motorists were killed in crashes on North Carolina roads, including 28 during the Memorial Day Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign period.

Increased enforcement during specific campaign periods year-round is a key part of making North Carolina roads safer. 2021 marked the most traffic fatalities across the state since 1973.

For more information about the Memorial Day Click It or Ticket enforcement effort in, contact Lieutenant Smith by email, 265@currituckcountync.gov or call the Sheriff’s Office at 252-453-3633.

Thank you as always to our community for keeping our road safety partnership!

Please consider volunteering a little time and a lot of love by volunteering to be a “Currituck” Home Delivered meal volunteer.

Currituck Senior Nutrition will resume to 5 days a week (Monday-Friday) starting Wednesday, June 1, 2022. With a significant loss in volunteers due to the impacts of COVID over the last 2 years, we are left with a HUGE hole that we need your help to fill.  Volunteers are crucial to the success of the Home Delivered meals program and we cannot do it without YOU!

You can volunteer as little or as much as your want.  Don’t want to commit to a certain day and time?  No problem – be an alternate and volunteer when it’s the right time for you.  The average time it takes to deliver a meal is 1 hour, unless you become attached…then it may take a little longer!

Please contact Currituck Senior Services at 252-232-3505 or sign-up to learn more.

Thank you in advance for any support you would like to give.
