Community Calendar

Join the Mecklenburg Metropolitan Interfaith Network (MeckMIN) for its annual Community Leaders Awards Breakfast, an inspiring gathering that brings together people of many faiths, cultures, and backgrounds to celebrate leadership rooted in dignity, collaboration, and care for the common good.

Often described as one of Mecklenburg County’s best-kept secrets, this event offers a rare opportunity to experience the strength and beauty of a community coming together across differences. When we gather in this way, hope feels tangible.

Honorees:
- John Cleghorn – Sydnor Thompson, Jr. Community Leader Award

Community partners will host information tables, and guests are invited to bring non-perishable food donations for Nourish Up.
