Loaves And Fishes Of Union County Supporters

Loaves & Fishes of Union County has had continuous contribution support from many individuals, the Charlotte Presbytery and a great number of area churches. These efforts are greatly appreciated by the many needy families in our community

We also benefit yearly from a number of small neighborhood and subdivision drives run by real estate offices and private citizens and groups as well as the large drives at ATI Allvac, Scott Health & Safety of Monroe, Wingate UCAN, the Union County Boy Scouts and the National Association of Letter Carriers.

We were pleased to be invited by the Wesley Chapel village council to have a booth at their 10 Year Anniversary Festival to distribute information and accept donations and Indian Trail Animal Hospital donates generously every month.

In 2009, with the needs of the community growing enormously, we needed more funds to operate and so applied for and received grants from FEMA, the Foundation for the Carolinas - Union County and several private foundations which have gotten us over the recent really rough patch and allowed us to update our operations for more efficient operations in the future.

Note. It is our policy to keep the names of private foundations and our individual donors private unless they specifically give permission to be posted on site, on this website and in our publications.
