Ever wonder who the people are who seek help here at @crisisassistmin?
They are people like Nikki who found help to keep her family safely housed during a job transition, along with coaching and counseling to rebuild financial stability.
On average 110 families per day seek help here with rent, utilities, clothing, or household goods. This #GivingTuesdayCLT we are looking to match that number with 110 neighbors who step forward with a gift to ensure Charlotte-Mecklenburg families can enjoy the hope, warmth, and light of home this holiday season.
Will you be one of the 110? crisisassistance.org/givingtuesdayCLT

Will you be one of the 110 neighbors who step up during #GivingTuesdayCLT to help struggling families meet their basic needs?

Volunteers from @covenantpresbyclt
spent almost two weeks doing daily, small-group acts of service in the Queen City as part of its expanded Covenant Impacts Charlotte including tasks benefiting families served at Crisis Assistance Ministry! The youth and other groups from the church held furniture builds, and a team of #volunteers spent Saturday morning refreshing the shelves in our Free Store and hanging clothing that will eventually make their way into the stores and into customers' hands. We're thankful that the members love Charlotte as much as we do, and we're grateful to have been a part of their time of service.

These friends from @leadershipclt left no task undone last week! They inspected and hung clothing in the warehouse, refreshed the shelves in the Free Store, and provided snacks for customers who visited the agency. We appreciate their dedication to helping #preservedignity in Charlotte-Mecklenburg! #volunteers

Our most recent group of @wellsfargo #volunteers found a super special group of friends to help them prepare donated coats for #stevescoatsforkids. For about 10 years, Wells Fargo produced these plush versions of the original horses that delivered mail, pulled stagecoaches, and worked for the Pony Express. They pitched in and kept things fun while the team got donations ready for families who shop for essentials in the Free Store.

Many thanks - 600, to be exact - to our friends at @chickenfootestatesales for their donation of 600 pairs of socks! Socks are on our list of most-needed items, and they're already on their way to the Free Store, where families and individuals may shop free-of-charge for essentials. With cooler temperatures already here, we know each pair will be put to good use!

Our friends at @wayfinders spent a Saturday afternoon making no-sew blankets for our Queen City neighbors who may need extra warmth and protection as the days and nights grow colder.

We love the cheery patterns, don't you?

Thank you, Wayfinders, for your joyful creations as we seek to #preservedignity for those who may be experiencing a time of uncertainty. #volunteers

“I had basic things, no meat and it was $112."

“I’m learning to freeze [food]."

“I ... plan meals based on what is on sale.”

Food costs have increased 12% over last year and inflation has pushed up the costs for housing, gas, and electricity. Carol Hardison, @crisisassistmin's CEO, says the agency is seeing families in need of help with larger bills. “When it gets so far behind the need is much harder to solve,” she says.
