Save the date...Operation Save Charlotte's Homeless

Two of our awesome volunteers are currently running cold weather supply drives for our homeless clients. When the drives have concluded, we will take to the streets on November 6th, @ 2pm -- and distribute the supplies to the street homeless. We will do this on a monthly basis, at least throughout the cold months. Want to volunteer for this event? Please contact Nichole: nichole@steelecreekoutreach.org

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!!
