Lake Norman Rallies Together: McIntosh Law Firm Hosts Food Drive for Ada Jenkins Center

There are moments when a community doesn’t just speak its values — it lives them.
This week is one of those moments.

From November 17–21, The McIntosh Law Firm in Davidson is hosting a Community Food Drive to support the Ada Jenkins Center Food Pantry, and the goal is simple but powerful: fill the trailer in their parking lot and help restock essential items for neighbors facing food insecurity.

And as always, Lake Norman is ready to show up.

The Heart Behind the Drive

The McIntosh Law Firm has always been more than a law office. Since 1997, they’ve woven themselves into the fabric of Lake Norman — supporting nonprofits, championing local initiatives, and committing time, resources, and compassion to the community they serve.

Their belief is clear: strong communities are built when everyone has the chance to prosper.

That commitment shines through in this food drive, which supports a partner equally rooted in local service — The Ada Jenkins Center, a cornerstone for families seeking economic stability, education, and essential support.

Why This Matters

Food insecurity continues to impact families in Davidson, Cornelius, Huntersville, and beyond. The Ada Jenkins Center Food Pantry serves as a lifeline, providing not just groceries, but dignity and relief.

Right now, the pantry is in urgent need of everyday essentials — the kinds of items many families cannot easily afford.

Here’s how you can help.

Most Needed Items

• Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo)
• Canned fruit (low sugar / in juice)
• Crackers
• Instant coffee
• Grits
• Toilet tissue
• Salad dressings
• Cat & dog food (3–5 lb bags)
• Full-size shampoo
• Deodorant
• Toothbrushes, toothpaste, body wash (full-size)
• Diapers (sizes 3–6)
• Adult incontinence underwear (M, L, XL)

Each item you donate directly supports a family right here in Lake Norman.

Simply pull into the lot and place donations in the designated trailer — it’s quick, easy, and incredibly impactful.

A Legacy of Service

This partnership between McIntosh Law Firm and the Ada Jenkins Center is rooted in shared values: education, stability, dignity, and opportunity. From the historic beginnings of Ada Jenkins School to its evolution into a modern hub of community support, the mission has never changed — helping people break cycles of poverty and build futures filled with hope.

This food drive is one small part of that work. But small acts, done together, create big impact.

Lake Norman, Let’s Do What We Do Best

Every can, every bag, every bottle — it all matters.
Every act of generosity echoes through a household.
Every donation strengthens a neighbor.

This is what community looks like.
Let’s fill the trailer — and fill it fast.
