Today Harris Teeter launched a donation card campaign to support both the United Service Organizations (USO) and Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), two organizations committed to supporting our troops and their families.

During the month of May, Harris Teeter customers at every Harris Teeter location will be able to make $1, $3, or $5 donations to Support Our Troops at checkout.  Similar community-based donation card campaigns hosted by Harris Teeter have raised more than $500,000 in a given month; the first annual Support Our Troops campaign raised over $445,000.  Harris Teeter is proud to support both the USO and WWP during this May campaign and is thankful for both the involvement of its associates and its customers as well as the good works of both nonprofit partners.

RALEIGH, NC (WBTV)- The measles outbreak reported earlier this month in North Carolina is spreading, according to the latest numbers from state health officials.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV)- Did you know it's National Walk@Lunch Day®?

National Walk@Lunch Day is designed to fit into your busy day. It was created to help improve personal health and decrease health care costs.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates the cost to treat illness and chronic disease caused by inactive lifestyles is nearly $1,000 for every family in America, every year. Simply getting 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, such as a brisk walk at least five times a week, has significant health benefits, lowering the risk of developing or dying from cardiovascular disease, hypertension or type 2 diabetes, and improving the health of muscles, bones and joints.

So on your lunch break today, break away from the desk for a few minutes, and take a walk. While you're out there, snap a picture with your phone and tweet it to @WBTV_News.
