I Could Hear the Hope in His Voice

Recently, I chatted with a client who is still in our Rebound men’s program. I could see the hardness on his face from his years of living on the street. But I heard in his voice the hope that was there. Something was happening and he was changing. The journey wasn’t completed, but he hadn’t yet finished our program. He was excited about his future, and so was I.

There are hundreds of stories like that; each one, receiving new life because someone cared.

Our Annual Auction Is Next Month

Our annual auction is quickly approaching. Tickets are selling fast and this year for the first time, we have the ability to accept registration online. All proceeds go directly to the mission. We hope to see you there!

Update 10/4/2007 - We are sold out. If you didn't get a ticket this year, we hope you will plan to join us next year.

We Need Your Old Ties!

Remember all those ties in your closet from years of Fathers' Day celebrations? Instead of letting them collect dust in your closet, why not donate them to Charlotte Rescue Mission? We are currently very low on ties for the men at Rebound. Our clients use ties and other formal wear for therapeutic job slots, interviews and church.

To donate, please drop them off at our main location:

907 West 1st St
Charlotte, NC 28202

Third Ward Picnic

Charlotte Rescue Mission along with Third Ward Neighborhood Association, Johnson & Wales University, Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation and Charlotte Center City Partners is planning a community event for the Third Ward in Frazier Park from Noon - 2 on September 22nd.

"The real purpose of this event is fun, but we also want to build `social capital,' bringing neighbors together to meet one another," Davis said. "In Third Ward, we have longtime residents, students, and families, and the more we can get folks to meet each other, the better."
