CLEMMONS — The Bishop Greco 9499 Columbiettes of Holy Family Church held a “Poker for Patriots” fundraiser June 4, raising $751 that they then used to buy and set up six nine-foot blue tilt patio umbrellas and stands for the residents of the Hospice House at the Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury, so that the residents and their families could enjoy the fresh air and outdoors.

HIGHLANDS — A $5,000 grant has been awarded to Highlands Food Pantry at the International Friendship Center by the Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte.
Our Lady of the Mountains Church wrote the grant earlier this year to benefit the food pantry. The grant will be used to provide food and hygiene products to those in need.
Father Francis Arockiasamy of Our Lady of the Mountains and members of his leadership team recently presented the check to Marty Rosenfield at the food bank.
