Glow House Society Community Network

The Glow House Society Community Network serves Randolph County in North Carolina, and is named after its host entity, the Glow House Society, Inc. The nonprofit works to drive economic development in rural communities in North Carolina and was founded by Courtney Alston Wilson, a sixth-generation farmer and small business owner.
