Hunger Fighting Programs

Many of our schools across the region report high numbers of students coming to school hungry. At CCM, we have identified pockets of need in our community that have lead us to pursue a more efficient and effective model for fighting hunger in our neighborhoods and schools. Satellite food pantries will engage new partners for facilities and new volunteers in 2008. Multiple satellite locations will reach into neighborhoods throughout our service area.

CCM Food Pantries

CCM Food Pantries collect and distribute over $1.2 million worth of groceries each year. Among those foods are healthy produce and other perishable items that are moved from grocery stores to kitchen tables within twenty-four hours of receipt from the stores. Grocery stores and volunteer Pick-up Drivers make this ministry possible. The grocery stores have proven very supportive of this program, it is only limited by the number of pick-up drivers available to collect the food and deliver it to one of CCM’s pantries. For more information on how to volunteer and help with grocery pick-up, view Volunteer at CCM page.

School Food Drives

School Food Drives are one of our greatest sources of food donations. Our community support for non-perishable food is tremendous. The High School Football FANtastic Food Drive is a great example of community spirit that translates into a positive impact on thousands of people. We challenge all of our local schools to use local rivalries to show the community that our future leaders are not too young to make a difference today.

Mobile Food Pantries

Mobile Food Pantries are conducted on a monthly basis in neighborhoods of high need. These highly effective food distribution programs overcome the absence of transportation for many struggling families, and provide supplemental groceries at a very efficient cost to CCM. Check Mobile Pantry Schedule for information on dates and locations.

Samaritan’s Table

The Samaritan’s Table evening meal program expands to reach more people each season. This four night per week program provides much needed relief to grocery budgets, and ensures good nutrition for many who would otherwise suffer without. Local churches host the program during the three months of winter and three months of summer to match the seasons of highest cost for families with children and for low fixed-income seniors. Local groups sign up to provide meals and serve on a weekly basis.  Groups wishing to serve an evening meal can call our Coordinator at 704-786-4709 ext. 851.

BackPack Program

The BackPack Program will be provided through our partnership with America’s Second Harvest, the Boys & Girls Club of Cabarrus County, and Kannapolis City Schools. On Fridays CCM will be partnering with local after school programs for at-risk students to provide healthy after school snacks and assistance with groceries for their families.
