Key Partnerships

There are many relationships and partnerships that Common Cupboard has fostered that makes it possible for us to fulfill our mission of being a "Resource for People Helping People".

The first would have to be Common Heart. It is hard to call this a partnership. Keith Adams often describes the difference between Common Common Cupboard and Common Heart as "Common Heart is a people. Common Cupboard is a place. The cupboard is a place we store food so that common hearted people can give it away to people in need. " Common Heart is our parent organization.


Our next key partnership is with the faith communities and the individuals from these communities that use Common Cupboard to reach out with God's love. Many of these individuals and churches give financially, run food drives, work in supportive roles in addition to using the cupboard as the resource it was designed to be.

These include folks from the following churches.

Threshold Church, Matthews
Triumphant Word Church, Wesley Chapel
Impact Church, Charlotte
World Worship Center, Charlotte
Faith Community Church, Waxhaw
All Nations Christian Fellowship, Weddington
Christian Life Center, Charlotte
• Church of Salvation, Charlotte
Monroe Christian Worship Center, Monroe
Community Church of Monroe, Monroe
Grace Commmunity Church, Marvin
First Baptist of Indian Trail East Campus, Marshville
West Monroe Baptist Church, Monroe
• El Shaddai International Ministry, Monroe
• Safe Haven Christian Fellowship, Monroe
Millgrove United Methodist, Hemby Bridge
Redeem Christian Fellowship, Monroe
Weddington Community Church, Weddington
Messiah Lutheran Church, Charlotte


A very important partnership we have is with Second Harvest Metrolina. We are a member agency of this branch of America's Second Harvest. Through our connection with Second Harvest we have been able to access food donations from all the major food producers and many grocery chains in the US.

Locally in Indian Trail we are proud to consider Super Bi-Lo, Weddington Rd, Matthews and Trader Joes, Piper Glen, Charlotte among our business partners through their donations of food directly to Common Cupboard. We are constantly seeking out these relationships to expand our access to food that we can make available for "People Helping People."

And finally we are thankful for those who partner with us through their financial giving. Common Cupboard through its parent Common Heart Missional Community is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation. We are able to be the resource we are through the generous giving of all our partners - individuals, churches, businesses, and community organizations.
