Time Is Running Out to Double Your Impact

You can join the Challenge by making a life-changing gift for our neighbors in need. See why other people are joining the Challenge and make a gift by April 30 to double your impact with a matched gift.

April 29, 2020

Join the Challenge Before April 30 to Double Your Impact and Match Your Gift

As time runs out to #JointheChallenge, we asked some folks familiar with Crisis Assistance Ministry why they believe now is the time to act. Here’s what they said.

Kara is joining the Challenge to support her friends who have recently lost their jobs or incomes. Join her by making a gift today and doubling your impact on your neighbors in need.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

Joe is joining the Challenge because as a volunteer for over 10 years and current Board member he understands the need, which will be double or triple as a result of COVID-19. You can help meet that need by joining the Challenge today.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

Jackie is joining the Challenge because for over 25 years at Crisis Assistance Ministry she has seen the impact of your donations in the community. Take a moment to make a gift of dignity and support today.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

Tchernavia is joining the Challenge to support and invest in members of our community. Thank you in advance for your kind and generous gift to those most in need in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

Looking back at a standout moment from our 2025 summer internship program, when interns visited @RoofAbove to see partnership in action. 

Their experience offered a behind-the-scenes look at the very fabric of nonprofit partnership and how deeply connected our community response truly is. From learning alongside partner organizations to seeing collaboration in action, our interns gained a greater understanding of how nonprofits work together to support neighbors in meaningful ways.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to help shape the next generation of leaders who understand that strong communities are built through connection, partnership, and shared purpose.

Our drive-thru donation drop-off just got a major upgrade!

Now, you can scan the QR code, answer a few quick questions, and have your donation receipt sent straight to your email. It’s fast, simple, and designed to make giving even easier.

Have you used this feature yet? We’d love to hear from our community material goods donors — what has your experience been like? Share your feedback in the comments, or tag us in your story and let us know what you think.

Your donations help local families stay safe, connected, and hopeful. We couldn’t do this work without you. 💚

Hard work alone is often not enough to create stability. As students head back to school, many parents are facing an added burden: uniforms, school supplies, and other classroom needs on top of the everyday expenses they already struggle to cover.

Crisis Assistance Ministry helps bridge that gap for families who are doing everything they can but still falling short. Your support helps parents keep up with essential costs and gives children the tools they need to start the school year prepared.

This summer at Crisis Assistance Ministry, our Bank of America Student Leaders® interns are making just as much of a wave as the latest scuba dance on your feed. 🌊🕺

Sam put it best: “Why don’t we put in more work towards keeping people housed? By keeping them housed, they can continue to work, have an address, and be able to keep themselves afloat.”

From AI projects to front-line support, these students are proving that you don’t need a viral trend to create real change; you just need heart, hustle, and a chance to serve.

Big shoutout to @BankofAmerica for partnering with us and helping these young changemakers turn summer energy into community impact.

1,000 snacks, 1,000 reasons to say thank you.

@wellsfargo hosted a special event to assemble 1,000 snack packs for neighbors in need. Families visiting Crisis Assistance Ministry received many of these packs, and 100 were paired with turkey sandwiches and delivered to neighbors at @RoofAbove who were impacted by recent water damage to their facility.

Thank you, Wells Fargo, for showing up in such a big way for our community. 💛
