Coach Don Staley donates shoes to afterschool students; giraffe feedings, officer and transit operator honored
Summary
City bulletin highlights community news: Coach Don Staley’s nonprofit Inner Soul donated shoes to West Greenville afterschool students; giraffe feedings resumed at the Greenville Zoo for 2026; Officer R. Walcott was named officer of the year and Eddie Barry was honored for 50 years driving for the Greenville Transit Authority.
Henry Coburn for the city of Greenville highlighted several community stories: Coach Don Staley surprised dozens of afterschool students at the West Greenville Community Center with new shoes through his nonprofit Inner Soul, an effort Coburn described as aimed at boosting self‑esteem and encouraging physical activity.
Coburn announced giraffe feedings are back for the 2026 season at the Greenville Zoo, naming Miles and Autumn and citing the Jim and Janice Cord's Giraffe Encounters platform as the viewing location.
The bulletin named Officer R. Walcott as the Greenville Police Foundation's officer of the year, credited with quick thinking and vigilance in two November arrests. Coburn also noted that Greenville Transit Authority operator Eddie Barry celebrated 50 years of service; Green Link recognized him with a specially wrapped bus and a celebration at the transit center.
These items were presented as community highlights in the city bulletin; the transcript does not provide additional program details, event dates beyond the zoo season, or direct quotes from recipients.
