Additional County Resources

     On March 20th we posted resources for food help during the COVID-19 crisis. If you would like to see that list again click here. If your family needs help during the COVID-19 state of emergency, please let us know by using this form.  The Union Academy Foundation has stepped up to help out our Cardinal families in need. If you wish to assist the foundation with this endeavor, please make a donation by clicking here or contact Jenna Westbrook at jenna.westbrook@weareua.org.
     Many people are finding themselves in uncharted territory as they have always been able to work and sustain themselves. The current climate is changing this stability for some and I want to assure you that you are not alone. The resources the county has in place, have been designed to provide temporary support in situations just as what we are experiencing now.
If you find yourself in need, please reach out for assistance. 
  • There is a comprehensive list of resources that includes clothing help, financial and food assistance, legal aid, medical and mental health care, housing help, power assistance and more. 
  • CharMeck311 is another resource many people are not aware of. If you live in Mecklenburg county this is a great way to safely get answers to many questions including directory assistance to City and County offices and information about various City and County services. (Mecklenburg is the only county currently offering a 311 service).
     Your school counselor is here to help as well. We may not have the answer, but we will do our best to help you find it. Our contact information is to the right of this blog.
