MAKE A DONATION
The Strozier Community & Family Foundation hosts a Free Essentials Giveaway on the fourth Sunday of every month to support individuals and families in our community. On May 31, we will provide food, bottled water, clothing, and hygiene bags to anyone in need. The giveaways take place at the Speedway off Innes Street in Salisbury, North Carolina and are part of our ongoing commitment to ensure community members have access to basic necessities and compassionate support.
Families in our community often struggle to access essential hygiene, personal, clothes, shoes, and household items. We are building and organizing a fully stocked Community Care Pantry to distribute personal care products, cleaning supplies, and household essentials during outreach events , restoring dignity and stability to families in need.
Why This Matters? Strong families build strong communities.
When fathers are empowered, youth are supported, and families have their basic needs met, we create a ripple effect of positive change that impacts generations.
This event is not just about funding , it is about building legacy, opportunity, and hope.
