Thank you!

Well we had an absolutely gorgeous Sunday

and an absolutely fabulous turnout. 

THANK YOU from all of us but especially from William. 

We baked these for hours 

and made over 5 gallons of lemonade 

but it was all worth it to see that so many of you have a heart for helping those in need!

Bless you!

The kids love sorting and counting all the money 

and it always turns out to be a great math lesson too!

We are thrilled to report that we collected $1,310 

and already have a few e-mails from folks who didn't make it by 

but wanted too, and they plan to drop off their donations this week.

We'll keep the mailbox open here through Friday of you'd still like to help.

Remember to make all checks to the Harvest Center and it's a tax deductible donation.

Here are just a few reasons why we love The Harvest Center:

The Harvest Center of Charlotte is a non-profit organization that depends on charitable donations from foundations, churches, individuals and many dedicated volunteers to serve low-income families, the homeless and area youth. For over a decade The Center has provided hot meals, groceries, clothing, blankets, medical testing, recovery meetings, transportation, job skills and educational opportunities.  We will serve more than 75,000 hot mealsto individuals and families this year. The Center’s inspired mission is to impact individual lives for change by addressing natural, physical, and spiritual needs, and by providing hope and opportunity for the less fortunate to become productive members of society. The Harvest Center is more than a food ministry and we have been in operation for almost two decades. As a matter of fact we have been blessed to be the number one recipient, out of 600 distribution agencies, of Second Harvest Food Bank for the past three years. Last year we received then distributed over 1.8 million pounds of food. The Harvest Center serves breakfast and lunch Tuesdays and Wednesdays, also lunch on Sunday. We serve 600 meals on Tuesday and another 600 on Wednesday. Sunday lunch tracks about 200 or so. Our Food pantry distributes in excess of 200 bags of groceries (one week supply for family of 4) on Thursdays and again on Fridays.  We also supported dozens of guests in Addiction Recovery and Self-Improvement activities.  Our engagement services help so many neighbors in need, and the relationships built in our family of faith help transform lives.

So THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU

from the bottom of our hearts!

Have a beautiful start to your week!
