Cabarrus Meals on Wheels
Our club delivers a regular Friday afternoon route for Cabarrus Meals on Wheels. Helping deliver a meal to a senior so they can continue to live at home is a vital service and is also a great opportunity for our Rotarians to serve the community together. Contact Rotarian Dick McMillan if you are interested in participating.
Salvation Army Bell Ringing
Our club provides volunteers to ring the Salvation Army bell outside of the Kannapolis Sam’s Club to help raise funds during November and December.
