Denim for a Cause: Blue Jean Fridays Are Back!
It’s that time of year again — Blue Jean Fridays are returning to spread holiday cheer and support Operation Santa!
From October 10 through December 19, 2025, employees can wear their favorite work-appropriate blue jeans every Friday by donating $2.00 per week.
All funds collected by department heads will go directly to Operation Santa, helping bring Christmas joy to children, families, and individuals in need throughout Currituck County.
Show your holiday spirit, stay comfortable, and remember — keep it professional, neat, and festive!

Fall is the perfect time to get moving, and the Currituck Walking Club is excited to welcome everyone back for Walking Wednesdays! Join us each week at 5:15 p.m. in the Extension parking lot for a fun, brisk evening walk under the lights (weather permitting).
