Men’s Shelter of Charlotte

Feb 22, 2017

FullSizeRenderWe couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off our 2017 Epic Outreach effort than serving lunch to over 180 men at the Men’s Shelter of Charlotte. They operate Mecklenburg County’s only two year-round emergency shelters for men experiencing homelessness. Basic needs are met, including a bed, meals, restroom/shower facilities, laundry, and personal hygiene items. A host of on-site services is also available including a volunteer-run Housing and Employment Resource Center (HERC), substance abuse and mental health services, peer support, medical respite, and bi-monthly visits from volunteer dentists. A special thanks to “Champ” for his incredible instruction, guidance and big heart. To learn more, or to help support them financially or through volunteering, please visit their website: http://www.mensshelterofcharlotte.org
