Become a volunteer
We provide family friendly flexible volunteer opportunities for youth to young adult or young at heart to serve. Some opportunities include: pack events, warehouse assistance, shopping, join a committee or become a Blessing box Keeper.
Donate to support
The success of our organization and our outreach is dependent upon the financial & product support of corporations & private sponsors.
Your sponsorship will not only demonstrate your company’s dedication to the local community but will allow 1CAN to increase our impact on the food insecure within Cabarrus County.
Join a program
Our boxes offer 24/7 assistance to anyone in need of food or personal hygiene items, they simply go to any convenient & safe location and take what they need. Due to the shame felt by many with food insecurity we provide assistance with no forms to fill out, interview or qualification offering anonymity to all.
