UNCS Cares Foundation isn't your typical nonprofit. We're powered by the employees of UNCS who volunteer their time, energy, and resources to make a direct impact in our community.
From packing backpacks for kids heading back to school, to delivering Thanksgiving dinners, to putting brand-new bicycles under the tree — every drive is hands-on, personal, and meaningful.
“A nonprofit is as strong as the community that holds it up. Together, we can make the maximum positive effort for our neighbors.”
— Brett Rose, CEO
