About the founder
Before the nonprofit was created, Mr. Grover would have a project to clean up the communities in the Stanly County area. He would gather men and challenge them to take their community back by picking up trash in the senior citizen's neighborhoods and along the highway to preserve what they called home. In collaboration with the city, we will demolish and remove old structures used for drug houses and beautify the communities with landscaping. The cleanup project expanded as more men became mentored by Community Who Cares, team. Community Who Cares will advertise the cleanup each year, and many businesses and other nonprofits will join to make the event special. In the last two years, we ended the cleanup in Norwood, and there will be a festival. We have vendors, food, music, and a ceremony at the festival to recognize the residents that cleaned the community throughout the year. Last year, we had former NFL players, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff, local police, the Mayor of Norwood, Chief of Police from every county that made up Stanly County. Community Who Cares goal is to have 100 men be a part of giving back to their communities through our Mentorship Program.
