The Cannon Foundation was established in 1943 by the late Charles A. Cannon, President and Chairman of Cannon Mills Company for more than 50 years. Mr. Cannon demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the people of Cabarrus County and the State of North Carolina through his philanthropy.
• Our objective is to create a 24 hour 7 Day a week shelter where no one gets turned out into the elements due to lack of space; a place to shelter men, and feed hungry women and children in our community at one location. We will provide a community clinic for those in need and put a stop to unnecessary visits to the E.R., saving our hospital on average $16,000 annually per homeless individual. In addition to providing a meal and a bed, we will provide classes for GED, Financial training, and Employment preparation. There will also be a chapel for daily bible studies and weekly chapel services.
• The new location of the Shelter will be 1100 Buffalo Street, Shelby, NC 28150. All final architect plans are complete with approved building permits.
• The Cleveland County Rescue Mission is a not for profit 501c3, Christian faith based organization, whose governing board is the Inter-faith Alliance Corp.
• “We are one step closer to the dream of changing lives becoming a reality. Every dollar received for the Cleveland County Rescue Mission is more than a donation. It actually goes into the shaping of destinies, making of character, and giving hope to people. Dollars to the Mission will lengthen days, wipe away tears, and spell opportunity for a countless number of people. The time to get involved is now.” Michael Gullatte, Executive Director.
