ClotheCharlotte

For those of you whom read the blog, I just wanted to pass on this email I received. This movement all started with one man at our church and was a huge success last year. Just wanted everyone to know about it and how they can get involved.

Hey everyone,

clothecharlotte is at it again and we need you. You came through and collected over 1100 kits last year. That is over 3300 items in 5 weeks which is absolutely amazing! clothecharlotte has a vision to meet the need of every single homeless person in the city of Charlotte. While speaking with many of the shelters last year we realized a common need, sleeping bags. clothecharlotte will remain an advocate for the homeless, so we are responding to the needs of the shelters this year by pushing all of our efforts towards gathering 5000 sleeping bags.

clothecharlotte will always be a grassroots organization making a huge impact in the city. We have all been effected by the financial state our nation, and we all have a real understanding how easy it could be to find ourselves homeless. clothecharlotte was a success last year simply because you responded to a need. Join the clothecharlotte Movement again and spread your impact.
