HOPE
Serving Our Community. Meeting Needs. Making a Difference.
Through HOPE, The Charlotte Church seeks to put our faith into
action by meeting practical needs, strengthening our community,
and creating meaningful opportunities to serve.
This October, there are several ways to get involved — from
volunteering with Nourish Up and supporting our Annual Food Drive
to joining a local walking group for movement, fellowship and
encouragement.

throughout our community.

Before You Serve: All volunteers must register
through the HOPE Charlotte Volunteer Hub. A HOPE account is

to make a practical difference for neighbors experiencing food
insecurity in our community.
