The sheriff’s office said the kits are part of a partnership for the “Minutes Matter” project and were made possible by Safeguard Medical Company, a veteran-driven, North Carolina-based company located in Huntersville.

To fund the project, Caldwell County received donations from Duke Energy, the Broyhill Foundation, Bernhardt Furniture, and an anonymous donor.
