We are deeply grateful that so many in our community turn to Crisis Assistance Ministry during times of hardship. It’s a privilege to be a trusted helping hand, and we couldn’t do it without the incredible generosity of our donors who have stood with us for years. If you’re a new supporter, please start with any gift amount you feel comfortable with and watch your dollars go even farther! Today, every gift made will be matched dollar for dollar. That means your $10 donation becomes $20, doubling the impact for our neighbors in need. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure vital assistance reaches those who need it most.

Days like this highlight the vital role #volunteers play in Mecklenburg County. Shoutout to the team from Fifth Third Bank who absolutely ROCKED THE HOUSE at Crisis Assistance Ministry on Fifth Third Day! 🙌 They spent the day hanging clothing and inspecting donations, making a real difference for Charlotte-Mecklenburg neighbors.
For those who don't know, Fifth Third Day is all about giving back to the communities they serve, and this year, they aim to provide millions of meals and support across their footprint. Their volunteer efforts here are a powerful example of that commitment!

What a happy accident. @kwballantyne and @Southpark both signed up to spend #RedDay here and didn’t even know it! They had such a great time serving the community listening to great music and banding together to get the Free Store in tip-top shape. 
Keller Williams was so enthusiastic about helping community members overcome long-term financial instability for their families, they stayed an extra hour before their lunch and had another crew from Southpark serve at 1pm! 👏🏽

You know how it is – life gets busy, but when something good comes along, you pay attention. Well, guess what? Myers Park United Methodist Church just jumped into our Challenge! 🙌 Their support, along with Christ Church, Covenant Presbyterian Church, First Presbyterian Church, and Myers Park Presbyterian Church is seriously boosting this thing we’re all making happen together.
 
Now, if you’ve been meaning to get involved but haven’t yet, or maybe you donated a while back? 🤔 Good news! This wave of generosity means your gifts will now be doubled through June 1st! Consider it a little nudge – a chance to double your dollars and make a real difference for folks right here in our community.

And hey, if you’re new to the party and looking for a way to actually see your money doing good? 🌱 This is it. Every donation until June 1st gets matched. Let’s not let this momentum fade – we hope to finish strong, like we always do. 💪 Head over to the usual place to make a direct donation.

Just a little love going to Eastway Middle School! 🥰 Thanks to the community’s generous donations through our Partner Agency Shopping Service, we helped create 105 gift baskets for their amazing teachers’ appreciation event. Your donations provided the materials, directly showing the power of your giving in our community, especially for our educators.

This is what it looks like when you leave it all on the field! 📢 What more can we say? @davidsonwildcat just showed what it means to play for something bigger than yourselves! They ran a full press on a month-long donation drive across their campus, and collected a truckload of items for neighbors who shop here, free of charge, for essentials. Shout-out to @c_kochera and the Davidson Student Athlete Advisory Committee. Let's take this energy and continue to champion our customers with the dignity they deserve! 💪 #CrisisAssisMin #DavidsonCollegeAthletics #GoCats #AthleticsDoneRight
