Our volunteers see beyond the abstractions and statistics of poverty. They come to know real people with real needs. They begin with the basics, providing shelter, meals, and support services to homeless families.  But many of them go on to do much more, creating new programs and partnerships to solve local problems and meet local needs.

 
One of the Community Initiatives that we are proud of in Charlotte is the Furniture Ministry. We have been blessed with donations of furniture and housewares from Charlotte furniture stores and private citizens. When an item is donated, it goes into our warehouse. When one of our families moves into permanent housing, this family gets to go "shopping" in our warehouse for furnishings for their new home. Our Furniture Ministry truly helps make a HOME for our families.
