As neighbors and as a community, we believe we are stronger together. Here are three QUICK and EASY ways you can show up and make a difference or help others who can.

When cleaning out your attic, garage, Marie Kondo-ing, or just generally downsizing, do you ever wonder what to do with all your extra stuff? Though Goodwill is a great organization, much of it is sent out of the area, or to the dump. Here are three alternatives that make a local impact in Lake Norman.

The Peninsula Community Foundation (PCF) was first launched in 2001 by a group of Peninsula neighborhood residents who wanted to do more to help others in the Lake Norman area. We’re excited to celebrate this momentous anniversary with you by revealing the new look and feel of the PCF.

This past week, we were able to gather 17 of our partners and board members for a luncheon in the Lakeside Room at the Peninsula Golf Club. Not only did they share a meal, but also encouragement and inspiration.

Mark your calendars for November 20th, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, for the biggest post-Covid 20th Anniversary Celebration the Peninsula Club has ever seen!

Lake Norman Community Health Clinic and the Ada Jenkins Center were able to bring needed dental services to over 150 patients in 2019 and 2020. The Peninsula Community Foundation donated funds to upgrade the air filtration and circulation system to allow for safe use during the height of the COVID pandemic.

I remember vividly the day we delivered a “big check” to Lake Norman Hospice and Palliative Care. Rebecca, our Davidson College intern, went with me. We expected to take a quick picture of the check presentation, give our best wishes, and be on our way.

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the PCF, we are reviving the Red Bow tradition.

In the last ten years, PCF has raised over $900,000 for nonprofits in the Lake Norman area. While raising funds for our partner nonprofits is of the biggest importance for PCF, there are many other ways we support nonprofits.

While the COVID-19 pandemic is a serious global health threat, the impacts were felt right here in the Lake Norman area. Due to the generous neighbors of the Peninsula community, PCF was able to support so many unexpected needs.
