Our Story

Two friends who couldn't look away.

It began just three days before Thanksgiving in 2018 — unplanned and unanticipated. Mike and Kendra, two friends moved by what they'd been seeing on Charlotte's streets, set out to provide a dozen holiday meals for people in need. Then a single Facebook post took on a life of its own: friends from across the country asked how they could give, and by Thanksgiving Day those 12 meals had become 88 — with 10 more people asking to help. They couldn't look away then — and they haven't since.

Tees for Tryon

Sat, June 13, 2026 H2H Ground Zero

Mission #65 is our annual Tees for Tryon outreach, where we’ll distribute t-shirts, clothing, hygiene supplies, and other essentials to neighbors experiencing hardship. This is a family-friendly opportunity to serve, and volunteers of all ages are welcome to join us.

Serving Opportunities for Mission #65:
* Tuesday, 6/9: Storage Unit Prep Night (6:00pm – 8:00pm ET)
* Saturday, 6/13: Mission Morning Set Up (9:00am – 10:30am ET)
* Saturday, 6/13: Mission Day Event (10:30am – 1:30pm ET)

The Mission Day Event will follow our traditional two-part format with three volunteer teams. One team will serve under tents near First Ward Park, while the other two teams will head out on our signature on-foot wagon mission through Center City Charlotte.

Whether you help prepare supplies, welcome guests, or walk alongside us through the city, your time and compassion truly make an impact — not only for those we serve, but for everyone involved in the mission.

Together, we make a difference — one meal, one conversation, one heart at a time. We hope you’ll join us!
