The Trends Report—first compiled in 1995—is the most comprehensive study of sustainable and impact investing in the United States.

CharMeck Adopt-a-Stream Clean

Oct 5, 2018

Another successful day supporting Char-Meck’s Adopt-a-Stream program with a volunteer effort across from the pond at Park Road Park in Charlotte. Advisors Ed Doughty and Jason Dimitriou spent the sunny morning picking up debris and waste (ok, garbage and litter) in and around our selected section LSTC1We’ve really come to realize the waste created from plastic, and in most all cases, one-use plastic. Cup’s, bottles, plastic grocery bags, straws, take-out containers, etc. Did you know it takes about 400 years for some plastics to decompose? And some never do. Everyone at Epic Capital uses glassware or reusable personal water bottles for drinking water, and we serve our clients Brita-filtered water – not disposable plastic water bottles. A volunteer experience like this is eye-opening and we encourage everyone to give-it-a-go. It’s a worthy cause and stimulates an awareness for the senseless waste we create in our lives.

What a great honor to prep for and then serve the men, women and children that stopped in the Dilworth Soup Kitchen for Lunch on Monday. This is a special place, no doubt about it.

Everything here is donated, there is no government funding, and all of the kitchen support comes from volunteers. Most importantly, there is no cost for the guests, and everyone is welcome to come share a meal. We urge you to consider Dilworth Soup Kitchen in your philanthropic giving plans, and/or to serve along side and on behalf of an amazing group of individuals.
