Announcements!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
Help neighbors in need!
The holidays are upon us. Unfortunately, so is the ongoing government shutdown which has led to the suspension of SNAP benefits.
More than 5,000 of our community members in Cherokee and Clay counties use SNAP benefits to help feed their families. Without those benefits, the holiday season may not be so cheerful this year.
Whether or not you consider yourself a religious/spiritual person, loving our neighbors can make our world a better place for everyone. So let's show our neighbors some love!

A drop off box for donations to Matt’s Ministry will be located in the Health Department entryway.

The NC Cooperative Extension of Cherokee County has also put together a Food Resource Guide that includes a list of free food distribution sites.

This County-Wide Food Drive is being coordinated by our Director of Community Outreach, Marlana Baker.

We invite your business or organization to significantly support this food relief effort by hosting a food collection.
