For more than 10 years, Tahira Stalberte has been a dedicated champion for our community through her service on the Union County Advisory Board and as an Employee Campaign Coordinator with Union County Public Schools.

The Power of Volunteering is more than a headline. It's what happens when people come together to strengthen their communities. This past year, 905 volunteers gave 2,021 hours of service to support local families, strengthen neighborhoods, and create opportunities across our region.

Every hour volunteered represents someone choosing to make a difference. Every project helps build a stronger, more connected community. Thank you to every volunteer who has invested their time, talents, and heart into this work. Your impact is felt far beyond the hours you serve.

Breaking the silence around mental health starts with community. 💙

For one local business owner in Cabarrus County, supporting mental wellness is deeply personal. After experiencing the impact of a mental health crisis within his own family, he chose to turn grief into action by supporting efforts that connect individuals and families with help before they reach a crisis point.

Through support of United Way of Greater Charlotte and the Cabarrus County Mental Health Collaborative, community partners are helping reduce stigma, increase access to mental health resources, and equip people to recognize and respond to mental health challenges.

Because of partnerships like this, more conversations are happening earlier, more families are finding support, and communities across Cabarrus County are working together to build a healthier future.

No family should face these challenges alone.
