The Racial Wealth Gap: Where COVID-19 Meets the Lasting Impact of Racism

More than a year into the pandemic that continues to devastate families and economies worldwide, it is painfully evident that the suffering is not equally distributed. The starkly different experiences of Black Americans compared to white Americans highlight the legacy of racism and systemic segregation in the United States.

Some families are forced to turn down raises or reduce hours — not because they lack ambition, but because the numbers don’t work.🤔 #FamilyFinance #EconomicReality #BenefitsCliff

We love sharing with others what we do! Big thanks to The Giving Institute for shining a light on Crisis Assistance Ministry and Project Outpour at their March meeting. Charlotte nonprofits rock!

Every day, 75 families shop at no cost for clothing and household goods at our free store. While many of us think nothing of a shopping trip for new clothes, for our neighbors with limited incomes, shopping at no cost turns what could be a financial burden into a fresh start!

Flat tire? Trip to urgent care? Things happen. For many of our neighbors however, when that thing happens, something in their budget has to give. That's where Crisis Assistance Ministry gives hope. We provide emergency financial assistance for rent and utility costs when a family faces financial crisis.
