UNITED WAY'S APPROACH IN CABARRUS COUNTY

No one knows Cabarrus County like its local community members. That’s why a diverse group of Cabarrus County citizens joined together to identify the areas where United Way funding could make the greatest impact. Together, our mission is to strengthen the overall health and well-being of Cabarrus County citizens. Therefore, we chose to focus our efforts on the mental wellness of the community.
