The Catawba County United Way recently had the opportunity to drop off the Giving From the Heart volunteer award check to Youth Category winner Zaira Mendoza, who requested it go to The Corner Table in Newton.
The CCUW thanks the Piedmont Natural Gas Foundation for funding the GFH grant awards, providing $500 for each category winner to be paid to the non-profit of their choice.
The other 2025 GFH winners were Marc St. Germain (Individual Adult Category). Germain asked that his $500 award go to NC Guardian ad Litem.
The Group category winner was The Kindness Project Leadership team. They asked that their award go to The Kindness Project homeless outreach program.
Thank you again to all the GFH volunteer nominees this year. They represent thousands of hours of selfless work, helping those in crisis.
