SHARE Charlotte Good News Recap
During the month of May, as we all geared up for summer, SHARE Charlotte connected our local nonprofits with media outlets across the Queen City to help share their good news!
May's #SpotlightOnCLT focus was on Addiction & Recovery, and the incredible nonprofits doing great work supporting those individuals dealing with substance abuse disorders.
