You Gave the Gift of Relief

Two remarkable women recently sat down together to share what your gifts to Crisis Assistance Ministry have meant to them. Both of these ladies came to Crisis Assistance Ministry needing rent assistance and thanks to donors like you they got financial help and relief. Sometimes you just need a little bit of help to get moving in the right direction and feel like you are no longer underwater.

Michelle Knows How It Feels to Ask For Help and Pay It Forward

Together we can give families the opportunity to receive one-on-one coaching and counseling in the Economic Mobility program along with assistance to stay housed and financially stable. Your donation will provide the opportunity for a hardworking community member to support their family by focusing on planning and goals, savings, financial well-being, and life skills.

When this small but mighty team from @redventures arrived on a recent morning, they brought sausage biscuits, juice, water, willing hearts, and inquisitive minds. They came not only to serve but to learn— "in hopes of embedding empathy into our everyday work." {Read more at the linkinbio}

"I enjoy doing it and knowing we're doing something to help people."
"You volunteer because something needs doing and you can do it"
It's as simple as that for this group of #volunteers from St. John's Episcopal Church who we recently dropped in on as they spent the morning inspecting and preparing donated clothing and household goods for Free Store shoppers.
Volunteer opportunities for groups and individuals, onsite or off-site, are available right now through the volunteer tab on our website.

One of the upsides of pandemic-inspired innovation are expanded grassroots partnerships like this one with @project70forward which brought new shoes and other essentials to a Pop-Up Shop for @home4mefostercare participants in Hidden Valley. Gotta love the smiles on these faces!

We're still celebrating firsts here! Last week we hosted the first corporate-led group of @BankofAmerica #volunteers since the pandemic began. With their help, families who shop here for essentials will find what they need in the Free Store this week. Help us say thanks!

Early voting in Mecklenburg County begins TODAY. Primary day is just 3 weeks away on May 17. 
What's your plan?  When and where will you vote?
This year's primary includes US Senate and House, some State Senate and House districts, Charlotte Mayor, City Council, County Commissioners, Sheriff, District Attorney . . .  These local roles often have a more direct impact on our daily lives than higher profile national races.

LOVE the sweet message these @UNCCharlotte 49er #volunteers added to a dresser they built themselves for families served by our Furniture & Appliance Store. ❤️❤️ Furniture recipients are referred by a network of 100+ partner agencies across Mecklenburg County to shop free of charge for essential items like dressers, couches, tables & chairs, and even appliances that are donated by the community.
