Charlotte Gears Up for Huge Disaster Relief Effort
On Saturday, October 12th, the warm-hearted community of Charlotte will come together at 11410 Carolina Place Parkway in Pineville for a significant disaster relief initiative. This gathering isn’t just another event; it’s a chance for you and your neighbors to make a real difference in the lives of those who are struggling.
Join Us to Make a Difference!
If you’re in the Charlotte area and have a few hours to spare, why not lend a hand? Volunteers are invited to help pack 500,000 meals and 10,000 hygiene kits that will be distributed to those in need across several counties, including Burke, Watauga, Avery, and McDowell. With just a few hours of your time, you can help touch the lives of many families facing difficult times.
Imagine the impact we can all make when thousands of us come together and dedicate our time and energies for a good cause! Volunteers can register for a specific time slot to pack meals and hygiene supplies, making it easy for everyone to join in.
