Updates

Recently, one of our homeless clients became a vendor for Speak Up Magazine. Warren, is one of our homeless clients who has been there with us since the beginning and we are very proud that he has taken steps towards climbing out of homelessness.

We are also volunteering uptown today at 2:30pm, and we have lots of exciting things happening with The True Change Band. More details soon.

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!!
