Everyone is Healthier When we Remember the 3 W’s

Now that we have entered Phase 2, it is extremely important to continue maintaining safe and healthy habits.  When you follow the 3 W’s, you are showing care for others and ensuring you don’t get someone else sick.  Whether working or shopping at local businesses, please remember to WEAR, WAIT, and WASH!

• Wear a cloth face covering
• Wait 6 feet apart/ avoid close contact
• Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer

Donations for Those Affected by COVID-19 - UPDATE

Provided below is a list of local feeding programs in Rowan County that give directly to individuals and families.  These programs accept food and monetary donations to ensure they can continue feeding our neighbors who may be food insecure.  The generosity of our community to support local feeding programs will reduce the risk of shortages.  You are encouraged to contact the program directly with questions regarding needs and operating hours.  

If you operate a charitable program providing food and would like to be added to this list, please email covid-19@rowancountync.gov.
