“Being in need is a humbling place to publicly be, for most folks it takes courage to admit they need help and even if they can admit it, it remains difficult to articulate and place in front of someone else no matter how desperate the need. At The Christian Mission, the face of organization that you first encounter, Beth B., could not be better suited for her role. She emanates calm understanding, warm empathy, and executes with clear minded strategy as a fierce advocate for all that walk through the Mission doors. In my personal experience of deep need that brought me to the lowest feeling point of my adult life, I expected to feel less than, and judged; to be subtly denigrated because of my need. Beth's astute understanding and deft ability to read not just what was openly stated, but also the deep underlying subtext of the situation, was welcoming in a way that I absolutely had not expected. Beth has the astounding ability to take a traumatic event and smooth the edges immediately, into a surmountable obstacle, with grace and sincere compassion. She presents executable solutions, both for the emergent issues as well as a solid path forward, that draws hope back into the heart of the person she counsels as the intake specialist. What is arguably one of the most challenging occurrences in life, becomes a moment of merciful grace, that feels like the most profound support and encouragement, you could ever hope to experience, let alone receive in such depth of despair. Beth is uniquely qualified and equipped to not only be the face of The Christian Mission, but she also deeply reflects and exemplifies Jesus to the suffering and hopeless. I am grateful for her cheerful, compassionate, competent spirit and the grace that constitute her consummate professionalism and dedication to her calling.”

9800 Kincey Ave, Huntersville“This was my first time visiting this specific location. From the moment I stepped foot in the building, I received phenomenal care.I arrived about an hour early for my appointment so I expected to wait; however, they were ready for me immediately. Robin was very helpful during my pre-screening. She asked if I'd be interested in donating Power Red and explained the process clearly. I had been donating for years at other Red Cross locations, but was never asked to donate Power Red. Had I known that was more beneficial for hospitals, I would have made the switch to Power Red years ago. I'm thankful that Robin took the time to answer my questions so I could make an informed decision. I will continue donating Power Red moving forward.After the pre-screening, Lisa started drawing my blood. I was a bit nervous because my last two blood donations had complications. Lisa settled my nerves by making small talk. I enjoyed hearing about her family and it made me feel better knowing she had 20+ years of nursing experience. She found my vein on the first try and everything went smoothly.While I was donating, every single nurse in the room asked how I was doing and checked to see if I needed anything. It was refreshing to see such a friendly group who cared for all the patients, not just the ones assigned to them.Last but not least, I'd like to thank Shay. Shay was responsible for the final process of my blood donation. She saw I was sitting alone and came over to talk about the Power Red process. She explained how it worked and why it was more beneficial than Whole Blood. Shay even scheduled my next appointment for me so I wouldn't have to do it later. I just scanned the QR code and added it to my calendar.There are other blood donation sites closer to my house, but I'll continue driving to this location in the future. Everyone at this site was incredibly friendly and provided excellent care.Thank you to everyone at the Blood Donation Center in Huntersville, NC!”

My daughters participate in the volleyball program and I can attest that it is an excellent program for young women and girls to develop and learn to work as a team. In the back there is a beautiful park overlooking Lake Norman, there is peace and tranquility throughout the place. I invite you to get to know this gem of a gym.”

121 Norman Station Blvd, Mooresville“Our brother-in-law, Bill Todd, served Mooresville for many years through his construction work with Habitat. His recent death is not only a great loss for the family but for Habitat. He was one of the truly good guys and meant so much to so many. We already are sustaining members but will be giving an extra contribution to your regional Habitat in loving memory of Bill. Tom, Betty, Matt, Karen and Karli Mainor Williamsburg, VA”

20414 N Main St, Cornelius“Lots of good deals, you just need to look for them. People are complaining about high prices, this store seems to have a lot of overstock merchandise that is unopened and new, from my experience. Best find was a lot of ~30 vintage coca cola glasses for a decent price a while back. Low end things, from card games to mugs to books to cds are priced fairly cheap.”
“This facility was really great and helping out with resources needed for major transitions in life, as well as provisions for food and necessities. The people were nice, and the processes were very quick as it may not be in most situation.”
