Recent Event
High Five Celebration – March 16, 2025
The Ballantyne community recently gathered to celebrate a remarkable milestone—five
years of making an impact on the lives of neighbors in need. The anniversary event was
held at Community House Middle School – in the same spot where the first food drive
was staged five years ago to the day. Volunteers, supporters, school counselors, social
workers, area principals, community partners and corporate sponsors were on hand to
celebrate.
Several corporate sponsors were recognized at the event, including Brighthouse
Financial, Novant Health and AireServ. In addition to recognizing supporters, the event
also featured live music, an art competition and several interactive activities, including
food pantry tours and a scavenger hunt.
