Our Mission

1. Food Security - Weekly Food Distribution & Summer Feeding

With nearly 1 in 10 Cabarrus residents food insecure, and families in poverty concentrated in city neighborhoods, local food access is critical. Many food pantries rely heavily on packaged food; fresh produce remains scarce

Our weekly distribution (including fresh produce) helps fill this nutrition gap and supports healthy meals.

2. Healthy Living - Screenings, Workshops, Seminars, Referrals, Mobile Health Units

High rates of obesity (32.6%) and diabetes (9.6%) point to chronic health risks in the community. With ~9–10% uninsured and limited primary care availability (~7.1 providers/10k), regular free screenings and wellness education bridge critical healthcare gaps.

3. Empowering Youth - E.G.G.S. Camp & Summer Feeding

Approximately 25–27% of residents are under 18, many from families facing economic stress. Rising child mortality, mental health issues, and safety risks statewide underscore the need for safe, structured youth engagement, mentorship, and enrichment during summers and after-school.

4. Financial Wellness & Assistance - Budgeting, Financial Counseling, Seminars, Small Groups

Though median income is relatively high, ~8–11% of residents live in poverty, with many households struggling with cost burdens like rent, healthcare, and childcare. Entry-level wages around or below $19/hr—cited by local residents as insufficient for cost-of-living needs—reinforce demand for financial coaching, assistance, and referrals to job/training resources.
