Downtown Wine Walk

On Friday evening, April 20th, the Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation will again host a wine tasting or “Wine Walk” to raise money for Harbor and the programs Harbor supports.

The “Wine Walk” fundraiser will take place from 5:30-7:30 pm as a continued part of the Downtown Smithfield’s monthly “Third on Third” series. Walkers will visit participating businesses in the downtown district to sample different regional, national and international wines at each location. Walkers will begin at Harbor’s Pizzazz, located at 119 North Third Street in Downtown Smithfield, where tickets will be available for $10 per person. Walkers will then be given a wristband to wear, which will allow them to taste wines at other businesses.

Harbor is Johnston County's only nonprofit agency providing service and assistance to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and women in transition. Harbor provides safe, compassionate, and advocacy services, resources, and programs.

Harbor is funded by United Way of the Greater Triangle Agency, State grants, Federal grants, grants from Johnston County and some of the townships within the County. In addition to those funds, the profit generated by Pizzazz, an upscale consignment boutique, goes towards being able to assist thousands of families achieve independence.
