Catch Summer’s Cool(er) Vibes With a Playlist

A great playlist can help keep the memories going, and a playlist is another budget-friendly way to enjoy summer. The money you save can go farther in your gift to help your neighbors in Charlotte-Mecklenburg #savehome by meeting their basic needs, providing emergency financial assistance toward rent or utility bills, household goods and appliances. 

August 10, 2022

What makes summer adventures even better? The music that carries you along the way.
A great playlist can help keep the summer memories going into the fall. 

What better way to complete your evening watching fireflies while eating tomato sandwiches on the porch? (This is multitasking in the highest). A playlist is another budget-friendly way to enjoy summer, and the money you save can go farther in your gift to help your neighbors in Charlotte-Mecklenburg #savehome by meeting their basic needs, providing emergency financial assistance toward rent or utility bills, household goods and appliances. 

Crisis Assistance Ministry’s CEO starts off her playlist with EW&F’s “Let’s Groove Tonight.”  

We’re building a great playlist to capture the vibe of this summer, and we’d love your help with this. If we do it right, this music can help us keep “summer” going even after Labor Day.  Let’s face it, Mother Nature seems to think summer doesn’t end in Charlotte until sometime in October. 

What’s on YOUR playlist? Let us know! Tag us on Facebook at Crisis Assistance Ministry, or on Instagram and Twitter at @CrisisAssistMin. Or hashtag your picks #SaveHome.  

When you look back on this summer, you won’t just have a great soundtrack. You’ll be able to celebrate #savinghome for struggling Charlotte families with your generous financial support.

Working hard doesn't always guarantee financial stability in today's economic climate. Hear Kimberly’s firsthand experience and learn what to know about evictions in North Carolina. Tap the link in our bio to listen to the full clip and read the blog.

NOBODY’S TALKING ABOUT THIS!
 
The government spent decades denying UFO sightings and now they’re calling them “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” (UAPs).
 
Well, we finally have the declassified footage.
 
It turns out extraterrestrials didn’t come to take over Earth… they just came to Charlotte for coffee and ended up getting a crash course in housing stability at Crisis Assistance Ministry. ☕👽
 
Our sci-fi filmmaking skills may have earned zero stars, but helping Mecklenburg County families build financial stability is 5-star work.
 
This is the 3rd and final installment in our terrible movie series! Skip the premiere and support local families from home.
 
Donate to Non Event 2026 through the link in our bio!

@nucorcorporation is North America’s largest steel producer and the continent’s largest scrap-metal recycler.

Volunteers from the Legal Department packed hearty lunch bags and helped serve 200 dignified meals to our neighbors: sandwiches, fruit, chips or crackers, and water.

They loved the experience and are already thinking about returning for holiday volunteer opportunities. Thank you, Nucor!

The copy machine never stood a chance. 🦖 Donate at the link in our bio. Come back next week for another movie premiere.

In our latest intentionally bad movie trailer, a dinosaur arrives ready to help but first it must survive the Customer Service area, the copy machine, and an awkward break-room lunch.

The reviews may be brutal, but the mission behind this film is serious. 

Crisis Assistance Ministry’s Non Event campaign invites supporters to skip a traditional event and make a direct investment in Mecklenburg County families facing financial crisis. A gift can help families build financial stability, keep essential utilities on, and remain safely housed.

Thank you to the CFGI team for bringing their time, talent, and energy to Crisis Assistance Ministry. Their volunteer shift was a meaningful investment in Mecklenburg County neighbors facing financial crisis, and the return is a stronger, more supported community.

We are grateful to Board Member Jay Herring for helping make the connection and to Chief Advancement Officer Shelly Biby for welcoming the team. Safe to say: the day’s balance sheet was full of service, connection, and new friends. (Accounting pun 😉)

We hope to see you back soon, CFGI! 🙌
