Chronic Homelessness

November 12, 2019

A Home For Edna

It’s been a while since Edna had the luxury of lingering over a cup of coffee. Over the past four years, she has crashed with friends, lived in her car, and most recently, lived at the Salvation Army Women & Children’s Shelter. That all changed thanks to your support and Edna’s hard work overcoming chronic homelessness.

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!

The Giving Season keeps on giving! At a recent service, CEO Carol Hardison and Director of Faith & Community Partnerships Ashley Medford were presented with a generous donation from @southpark_church. Thank you for bringing hope and stability to more families in our community!

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.
