Cabarrus Helping Hearts and Hands, commonly referred to as Ch3, provides a way for Cabarrus County employees to come together as a group to support the community.
Ch3 was formed in 2004 by employees as a convenient way to make voluntary, tax deductible contributions to local non-profit organizations with the assurance that 100% of funds collected will be dispersed to the selected local charities. Throughout the year, employees also have a number of opportunities to participate in special projects and events such as collection drives and volunteer opportunities to assist local non-profit organizations with specific needs.
