2040 Comprehensive Plan Builds Equity into Charlotte’s Growth

The 2040 Comprehensive Plan creates an opportunity to build equity into Charlotte’s future growth. It begins with a recognition of the history of redlining and urban renewal that exacerbated racial disparities and creates a roadmap to ensure that all residents have access to the benefits of our city’s expansion.

Black History Month Focuses on Right to Vote

As February ushers in this year’s national Primary season, it’s important to remember the sacrifices and historic milestones that brought each of us (at different times, through differing means) the right to vote. One way to celebrate history is to educate yourself on the issues and the candidates – from the most local offices to the White House – and make a plan for when and how you will vote.

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!

Swipe for a Mother's Day message to all the parents out there struggling right now, from the heart of an adult who grew up in a family a lot like yours.

We couldn't let 5/3 come to a close without saying a HUGE thanks to our friends from @fifththirdbank who shared their special day with the 100+ families served here each day. Happy Fifth Third Day!

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.
