COMMUNITY PARTNER SPOTLIGHT CCM is honored to highlight a new partnership with the Gene Haas Foundation! In connection with the Kannapolis, NC-based Stewart Haas Racing, CCM was provided an opportunity to present our Bold New Initiative and intent to build Housing Solutions here in Cabarrus County to Mr. Haas’ Foundation. We were extremely grateful to learn that the Foundation awarded CCM $50,000 towards the increase in housing capacity here in our community. Moreover, this grant helps to move CCM one step closer to breaking ground for Grace Place, which is planned for development in the city of Kannapolis. May God Bless the Gene Haas Foundation for their generosity! As a community, we have an opportunity to ease the struggles of families and make the holidays brighter for our neighbors, by adopting a family for Christmas through the Empty Stocking Fund Adopt a Family for Christmas program and filling a shoebox for a senior in need through our Senior Care & Share Shoebox program. This Christmas Season 94 families were adopted including 262 kids. And 287 senior shoeboxes/packages were collected and distributed to seniors through our community partner, Meals on Wheels. Many families have expressed such gratitude, sometimes accompanied by tears, for receiving help this holiday season. These families are individuals who are struggling with special circumstances such as homelessness, disabilities, health challenges, job loss or other hardships. Beyond the gift-giving is the expression of love, generosity and kindness for each family adopted. Each carefully packed shoebox restored hope for those seniors who may feel forgotten. Thanks to the generous support of individuals and our community partners including, Connect Christian Church, Crossroads Church, Gilwood Presbyterian Church, First Citizens Bank in Concord, Pitts School Baptist, Post-Surgical 1 at Atrium Health Cabarrus. These were all instrumental in providing Christmas gifts, gift cards and food to our families in need.
We are grateful for the team from Ketchie Inc. that came and served at CCM as part of their annual Christmas volunteer day. Thank you to the wonderful teammates at Levine Children’s Hospital Specialty Care (in the Pavilion at Atrium Health-Cabarrus) who collected and donated 392 lbs. Thank you to the volunteer group from Clayton Homes who came out and painted the exterior of one of our teaching houses. The Eagles Rock! Thanks SO much for your very successful Food Drive benefiting Cooperative Christian Ministry. You all collected and donated 1,425 lbs. of non-perishable food! That’s enough food to provide about 1,100 meals to our neighbors who are in need. Thanks to all the students and staff of W M Irvin Elementary who made this food drive such a success. Thank you to Grayson Burgess of Troop 33 of Trinity United Methodist Church-Kannapolis for choosing CCM’s Teaching Housing program for his Eagle Scout project. With support from Troop 33, scouts from Troop 254 and members of Journey UMC, Grayson’s project replaced steps, repaired gutters, installed drainage pipes and painted porch railings and foundation walls at two of CCM’s properties.
