Through the DCDA, a new outreach program called "Dilworth Cares" is being created to make it easier for each of us, as Dilworthians, to show our concern for others. The Dilworth community already does so much for each other and for various non-profits and we, as individuals, all have our own "causes" and passions. "Dilworth Cares" will help us get organized and take our efforts a step further.Every bit of your Dilworth's website has been updated this year, and our new motto is
"IF YOU CAN"T FIND IT HERE, IT MIGHT NOT BE HAPPENING!
Check out the menu to the left----want to know about DCDA's brand new charitable initiative, Dilworth Cares? Just a click away. How about (nearly) everything fun going on in Dilworth that DCDA has a hand in? Click on FUN STUFF WE DO and see what pops up. TOADS, JUBILEE, SUMMER CAMPS AT SYKES, SOCCER AND TENNIS CAMPS.....bet you never knew how much fun stuff was going on.
Maybe the best link....-don't miss it.....is click on GET INVOLVED. It's at the bottom of the menu list, but should be at the top of your list! Pages of your questions are answered----contact names and emails addresses for just about everything that's happening, from "Who do I contact about approvals for state tax credits for my renovation?" to "How do I volunteer for a Home Tour shift?" to "How do I make sure I am invited to the Dilworth Ladies Parties?" Or how about wanting to know who your Neighborhood Network block captain is? Or if you even have one? Or if you can be one if you don't have one?
You get the picture.
So BOOKMARK THIS SITE TODAY and check back often. We may be sending you fewer (or shorter) emails, and rather directing you to links in this site instead----or maybe just a weekly calendar link so you can check it all out yourself. Either way......the choice is yours to get connected and stay connected to all that's happening------the information will be here waiting for you. Use it! And enjoy!

As everyone no doubt knows, demand is higher than ever at our area food pantries and donations are down as a result of the economic downturn. In response to the ever increasing need, some neighbors have devised a way to pitch in and help by forming the Dilworth Food Pantry Co-Op.
The concept is simple: Neighbors buy sale items at their grocery or warehouse store and leave them on their front porch (one suggestion is to add the item “food pantry” to your grocery list as a reminder). They then email or call Co-Op coordinators, MerrieMcGrath and her son, Aubrey, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 704-281-1948. Aubrey and Merrie will pick the items up and make sure they are delivered to the food pantry.

CHS plans to demolish the following buildings once East Blvd B&G moves to Latta Pavilion. This move is currently scheduled for the first quarter of 2009. They are unsure what they will do with this property once these buildings have been demolished.
