Lake Wylie Pilot Interview:

A special thank you to John Marks for taking the time to write about our new program to assist our uptown homeless population:

and here is an article also from the Lake Wylie Pilot about Operation Mayday: http://www.lakewyliepilot.com/2011/04/26/1103520/groups-unite-to-feed-neighbors.html

I founded Serve Charlotte's Homeless in 2009. Our mission was simple, and we set out to provide aid to those in need. What we didn't realize then, was that our donations and assistance to those in need, were just barely touching the surface. Through personal research and interactions with those in need, I came to the realization that these homeless individuals need more; more care, more supplies, more fellowship, more compassion, and more understanding. Homelessness is a complex issue, and we cannot rely on the government alone to change the homeless condition. If we are to change the lives of these homeless individuals, it will have to start with you!!
