Machiah's House, Inc.

We are excited to invite you to join us for a heartfelt volunteer/donor opportunity with Machiah’s House Inc. Our upcoming event will be December 3rd, 2024 Giving Tuesday global event via Share Charlotte at Optimist Hall where we are focused on providing support, hope, and encouragement to young women who have aged out of foster care with a gift of joy. These young women face unique challenges as they transition into adulthood, and we want to show them that they are not alone.

We are gathering essential toiletries and personal care items to create "Hope in a Bag: Empowerment Care Kits" that will be gifted to these incredible young women. This is not just about providing material items, but about giving a gift of dignity, care, and compassion. By volunteering, you will help us assemble these care kits, share kind messages, and most importantly, offer hope to those who need it most.

How You Can Help: 

We are asking a few volunteers to assist in various ways, from donating items to helping us organize and pack the care kits. Your involvement, whether big or small, will make a huge difference to those who need it most! Please email Dr. Pridgen for more information on how you can get involved spridgen@machiahshouse.org
