What’s Your #WhyIGive?

You can change lives by joining Al, Andrea, Lea, Andrew, Carol and Dick with a gift that celebrates all the GOOD we can do together. It’s about extending a hand to moms, dads, sisters, brothers, children, veterans, seniors, and survivors who just need a little help to regain financial security.

You can change lives by joining Al, Andrea, Lea, Andrew, Carol, and Dick with a gift that celebrates all the GOOD we can do together.

After a career spent in nursing, Al has seen firsthand what it’s like to try to manage work, family, and life’s little inconveniences without spiraling into crisis.  For the nearly 200 families a day who seek assistance at Crisis Assistance Ministry, donors like Lea are essential to getting the help they need when they need it the most. Like Lea, Andrea loves the city where she lives and knows we can all help each other get through difficult times.

It’s about dignity for Andrew. For our neighbors struggling to make ends meet, a little help and hope goes a long way toward preventing homelessness and preserving dignity. That’s why Carol, our CEO, left the corporate world behind to share the story of Crisis Assistance Ministry, a place where people like you come together with people like us to lift each other up.  For Dick, it’s about extending a hand to moms, dads, sisters, brothers, children, veterans, seniors, individuals, and families who just need a little help to regain financial security.

You can join these generous donors with a gift that helps our neighbors stay in their homes, keep the lights on, and live with dignity as they rebuild financial security. In fact, you can make twice the difference during our Challenge campaign through the power of a matching fund provided by Atrium Health.

And when you do, don’t forget to tell us your “Why” by sharing on social media with #WhyIGive and tag us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

We had an unusual 🐿️ visitor this morning. While we DO specialize in stabilizing families through emergency basic needs and financial empowerment, our services are designed for neighbors of the human variety! 🤣 
Fortunately, our little squirrel buddy has been successfully relocated to the outdoors where they can continue to take care of their family too 😁 🎉

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Matthew Desmond’s thought-provoking message will help us understand the systemic issues contributing to poverty and inspire us to be part of the solution here in our own community. Tickets are free, but required. Seating is Limited. <Link in Bio>

We aren't throwing a big party, but we ARE asking friends and neighbors to make a direct contribution to help stabilize families facing a financial crisis. Your help with this Non-Event will make more stories like this one possible. Join us with a gift to help neighbors avoid eviction and loss of utilities and to empower more people with the tools to rebuild financial stability for themselves. Don't Save a Date . . . Save A Future.

We love sharing our mission with corporate #volunteers like this team from @humana today. Thanks to their help, families will find essentials like clothing, shoes, school supplies, and household goods—free of charge— in our store while they continue to build financial stability. #thankful

Instead of planning a fancy gala, we're inviting you to skip the party (and all those costs) and instead make a direct contribution to stabilize families experiencing financial crisis right here in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
It's our NonEvent 2023, and your gift will help hardworking neighbors escape the threat of eviction or loss of utilities while empowering families with the resources to stabilize their families . . . and their future.

What a wonderful day to welcome #volunteers from @DukeEnergy during their Summer of Service. Nearly 100 Duke employees spent part of their day helping with everything from painting barrels to inspecting donations and stocking the store. A GREAT way to spend a Friday here in the Queen City!

This might look like a #Barbie appreciation post, but actually it is a shout out to Team @duke_energy and the 100+ folks who spent their day as #volunteers here today!

Today's LOVE WEEK 2023 #volunteers from @elevationchurch created no-sew blankets for families who shop here free of charge, staffed the checkout counters in the store, and prepared newly arrived clothing from corporate donors for future shoppers. With help like this, more than 80 people per day find essentials to help stabilize their families when they visit our Free Store. #thankful #loveweek2023
