A Little Bit of Help, Hope, and Home

An eviction filing does not just impact today. It can shape a family’s housing options for years.

In North Carolina, eviction filings can remain part of the public record indefinitely, even if the case is dismissed. That is a reality many people do not know until it is too late.

With 52,625 filings in Mecklenburg County in 2025, housing instability is affecting more families than ever, and the process moves quickly, often leaving little time to respond.

Our new blog series, "The Eviction Series: What Families Face, What Communities Can Do," begins by explaining how eviction works and why early action matters.

Understanding the process can make a difference. Read the first installment at the link in our bio.

From caterpillar to butterfly 🦋

In her beautiful reflection on metamorphosis, our Materials Coordinator, Stacey, shares how the journey of a butterfly mirrors the story of Crisis Assistance Ministry. We started small, and over time, we’ve transformed into a larger, stronger agency that helps neighbors across Mecklenburg County live with dignity and stability.

Her butterfly display is a reminder that we are still growing and changing, grounded in fifty years of hard work, compassion, and community trust, and moving into our next chapter with strength and hope.

We’re stepping into a new fiscal year grounded in our commitment to housing stability in Mecklenburg County.

To celebrate the growth, resilience, and impact we continue to build together, our team enjoyed a well-deserved sweet treat. Here’s to another year of standing alongside our community.

Most single parents in Mecklenburg County are struggling to afford the basics, even while working.

The ALICE report looks at families who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed. That’s just a long way of saying “working people who still can’t keep up with the cost of living.”

Here’s the reality:

🤱65% of single moms with children

👨‍🍼58% of single dads with children
fall below the ALICE threshold, meaning they don’t earn enough to reliably cover essentials like rent, child care, food, and transportation.

Want to do something about it? Support local nonprofits like Crisis Assistance Ministry that help families stay housed and keep the lights on.

Last year, Mecklenburg County saw 52,000 eviction filings, compared to 28,000 in Wake County—about 85 percent MORE filings here at home.

Crisis Assistance Ministry steps in with emergency rent and utility assistance plus clothing and household essentials, so neighbors can stay housed with dignity. Want to be part of the solution? Give, volunteer, or share this post to help more families experience housing stability.

Feeling like the problems are too big to fix?

“If you do a little something and then someone else does a little something … these accumulate. Maybe 15, 20 years from now we look back and go, it helped. It helped.”

From Kansas City to Charlotte, generosity knows no distance.

As part of @midanmarketing Founder’s Day celebration, an incredible team came together to assemble 150 hygiene kits for communities near and far—including right here at Crisis Assistance Ministry. We’re honored to have been hand-selected by one of their team members to receive a portion of these kits.

This is a reminder: you don’t have to be local to make a local impact. Thank you for supporting our mission and helping our neighbors in need.

Cavity monsters do not take summer vacation.

School is out, camp is in, and kids are loading up on candy, popsicles, and sweet summer snacks. This week, our most needed Amazon Wishlist items are Crest Kid's Toothpaste and Colgate Kids Toothbrushes so children in families facing financial crisis can keep their smiles healthy all summer long.

You can shop our Amazon Wishlist and have these items shipped directly to Crisis Assistance Ministry.

Link in bio to give and help protect little smiles this summer.
