Presenting “A Donation Journey”

You are a vital part of the donation journey and without your support hardworking families in Charlotte Mecklenburg would be without a home, power, or water. Please make a gift today and join the Challenge!

May 25, 2021

If you ever wanted to see the journey of a donation here it is:

  1. A neighbor in need goes online and fills out an application for rent and/or utility assistance.
  2. A generous donor like you writes a check or makes a donation online.
  3. The donation is processed securely at our office – THANK YOU!
  4. A caseworker assesses the individual’s situation and works with the landlord or utility company to prevent eviction and utility disconnection.
  5. A family is stably housed thanks to your generosity.

You are a vital part of the donation journey and without your support hardworking families in Charlotte Mecklenburg would be without a home, power, or water. Please make a gift today and join the Challenge!

It's the little things! We're so grateful to #volunteers who sift through donations, inspect and hang them, sort them into sizes and genders and adult vs. children and so much more. Did you know that volunteers as young as 11 can help out onsite with adult supervision and 16-year-olds  can volunteer on their own?
Many volunteer roles are urgently needed to help provide for the basic needs of our neighbors while preserving dignity for struggling families. Check out the volunteer tab on our website to find your spot!

While getting out of town is great, you shouldn’t knock the staycation. You can have good old summer fun right in your own backyard. Here are today's ideas for summer fun that keeps you close to, or at, home. (Bonus: these adventures won’t break the bank so you’ll have a little left to help more families #savehome with a gift by August 31.) 
1. Watch the fireflies.
2. Visit one of Charlotte-Mecklenburg's splash parks, or run through a sprinkler.
3. Clean your closet (we promise this is fun). Bring gently used uniforms to Crisis Assistance Ministry, and we will add them to our Free Store.

With a new school year quickly approaching, many families in @charmeckschools could use help getting their youngsters ready for the classroom with uniforms in the right size and  right color, especially after a summer of extra costs. There are several ways for you to help your neighbors and community members - with time to spare before school starts. Visit the link in the profile for ideas.

It feels like #LOVEWEEK flies by each year! Join us in giving huge thanks to these #volunteers from @elevationoutreach for their joyful energy this week.

Happy National Interns Day! We've had the privilege of hosting three amazing college-age interns this summer.  Eleanor and Will helped launch Benefits Access for customers awaiting assistance, while also pitching in with volunteer coordination.  Katelyn (& her whiteboard) planned communications for our School Uniform drive that kicked off last week. All three are heading back to college shortly and we are going to miss their smiling faces and willing spirits. Watch for their individual blogs about their summer over the next few weeks!
