What a great way to learn about this issue. Thanks you Safe Harbor of NC

Hope looks different for everyone.

Sometimes it looks like a warm meal.
Sometimes it looks like prayer.
Sometimes it looks like resources, encouragement, and someone willing to say “you matter.”

That’s what Camping for a Cause is all about. Join us on June 11th as we come together not only to support those experiencing homelessness in our community, but also to bring greater awareness to the realities so many individuals and families are facing every day.

Together, we can connect people with hope, resources, and encouragement for what’s next.

I can't believe it's June...Must mean it's time for the Catawba County United Way's School Supply meet and greet luncheon with local public school teachers and social workers this Thursday - June 4, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the CCUW office (2760 Tate Blvd SE in Hickory).

For those interested in being collection partners during the CCUW's annual County-wide School Supply Drive, this will be an opportunity to learn directly from public school social workers and administrators about the needs and the impact of the drive on local families.

Hope to see you there, and Thank You to everyone who supports this annual outreach.

Don't forget this great resource for eligible families. Please share.

The first round of benefits will provide $120 per eligible child, with $121 million being distributed statewide. SUN Bucks helps bridge the summer nutrition gap when many children no longer have access to free or reduced-price school meals.

Más de un millón de niños de Carolina del Norte recibirán los beneficios de SUN Bucks este verano, lo que ayudará a las familias a comprar alimentos saludables mientras no hay clases.

La primera ronda de beneficios proporcionará $120 por niño elegible, distribuyéndose un total de $121 millones en todo el estado. SUN Bucks ayuda a cerrar la brecha nutricional del verano, momento en el que muchos niños dejan de tener acceso a las comidas escolares gratuitas o a precio reducido.

Thank you Shelter Home of the Foothills for ensuring this valuable resource is in our community.

BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN CATAWBA COUNTY! 🚧

The emergency shelter renovation is officially FULL SWING, and we could not be more excited about what this means for survivors in our community. 💙

Every wall repaired, every safety upgrade completed, and every improvement made brings us one step closer to restoring a safe, welcoming place of refuge for individuals and families fleeing violence.

This renovation is more than construction — it is hope being rebuilt. It is safety being restored. It is a future where survivors in Catawba County have a secure place to land, heal, and begin again.

But we can’t do it alone.

💥 You can be part of this transformation right now.
Your gift will help move this project forward and make a lasting impact on the lives of survivors who need emergency shelter and support.

👉 Give today at: www.shelterhomecc.org

Let’s come together and help build something powerful for Catawba County.
The work is underway — now let’s finish strong.
