ACN, Inc. was recently announced as the naming sponsor of the new Vegetable Garden at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast. CMC-NorthEast is a regional hospital in Concord, NC, located just around the corner from ACN’s World Headquarters.
The ACN Vegetable Garden will provide fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables for CMC-NorthEast’s cafeteria, educate the community on the benefits of growing and eating healthy foods and encourage people to grow their own gardens in their backyards.
The ACN Vegetable Garden will include a greenhouse, raised herb beds, an outdoor grilling kitchen, and fruits and vegetable gardens. The official ribbon cutting is set to take place in the spring of 2015.
ACN’s partnership with the NorthEast Foundation could not be a better fit. ACN has a longstanding commitment to supporting children through its work with the Ronald McDonald House, globally and at the local Charlotte House, and the Will Play for Food Foundation, which helps feed hungry children in North America while teaching families about healthy food options. It only made sense for ACN to sponsor a foundation right at home that affects its community and aligns so well with its dedication to changing lives.
