He traveled there with Biomeds Without Borders and in conjunction with the Heineman Foundation of Charlotte, a part of Carolinas HealthCare System. The mission was to unpack, inspect and install more than $1.2 million in donated equipment from the foundation for the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, as well as to repair any related equipment within the hospital.

Cadets, Switchin' Kitchens Aid Vets Cadets in Ardrey Kell High School's Marine Corps Junior ROTC program and Switchin' Kitchens, located in the Fountains of Ardrey Kell, will join forces for the third year on Thursday, March 12, to provide meals for veterans in need at the N.C. National Guard. Last year cadets and their parents, along with customers and veterans, donated enough money to purchase 250 meals, more than double the number of the year before. Operation Homefront delivers the meals to families living paycheck to paycheck or to disabled or single veterans who need cooking assistance. Each meal comes with a personal thank-you note signed by the cadets. Rachel Basile, owner of Switchin' Kitchens, says the idea for the project came from cadet Carly Scheve. To contribute or learn more, call Switchin' Kitchens at 704-844-2002.
