By Thomas Lott Sheryl Kluge set a goal to give away 70 holiday meals before Christmas right out of the seven Blessing Boxes throughout the County. They were able to give out 140 when all was said and done. âI am so proud of Cabarrus County,â Kluge said. âThe residents of Cabarrus County, they make me cry. Iâm going to tear up right now again.â The Cabarrus Blessing Boxes have been active in the county for more than a year now but have really picked up in usage and need since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The unemployment rate in North Carolina remains high with the most recent statistics sitting above 6 percent and residents of Cabarrus County are no exception.
