Empty Food Pantry Shelves
Our food supply is dwindling quickly!
During the first seven months of 2010,
CCM has seen an 11.5% increase in the number of households and
a 15.0% increase in the number of individuals receiving food from our food pantries.
We now supply food to seven pantries scattered out through Cabarrus County
and the Rowan County portion of Kannapolis to try to better serve those families
in need in our area.
You can help fill up our shelves by donation of canned fruits, vegetables,
soup and pasta.
For more info please contact Mike at 704-786-4709 x822 or email him at
