CHARLOTTE — The Steele Creek community gathered on Saturday for a block party to create bonds and celebrate unity.
The event, hosted by Steele Creek Community Place, aimed to bring families together and foster connections among residents, particularly those who have recently moved to the area.
“It’s a place people can come, meet friends and family, similar interests, place to work from,” Alyssa Drown said. “A place to bring their kids, so there’s not so much loneliness when you move to a new place.”
