SHARE Charlotte is proud to have Novant Health on board as an official partner of DO GOOD Week: Home Edition and is grateful for all of the GOOD they do for our local nonprofit community, all while providing remarkable care to our greater Charlotte community.
SHARE Charlotte is so grateful for official partner of DO GOOD Week: Home Edition, Wells Fargo, for their support of this year’s celebration as well as all the GOOD they do for the Charlotte community year round and, in particular, now in the face of crisis.
Wells Fargo has taken and continues to take actions to support their employees, customers and the communities they call home during this extremely difficult time, making investments at both national and local levels.
Ross Danis admits he teared up when he learned Meck Ed was getting a check for $1,000 from the Carolina Panthers.
“I could just cry. When you run a nonprofit and you get a call like that, especially these days, it really did bring a tear to my eye,” Danis says.
Meck Ed works with high school seniors at some of Charlotte’s most challenged high schools getting them college and career ready.
This Charlotte nonprofit was one of more than 30 regional organizations that got the unexpected phone call from the Panthers - all thanks to a celebration of the NFL’s 100th anniversary season last year.
SHARE Charlotte is incredibly grateful for DO GOOD Week: Home Edition official partner YMCA of Greater Charlotte. In addition to supporting this year’s local celebration of National Volunteer Week, during this time of crisis, The YMCA is pivoting efforts to serve its employees, members, and our community at large by doing things such as providing free childcare for essential healthcare employees and creating a staff relief fund.
SHARE Charlotte is incredibly grateful for official partner of DO GOOD Week: Home Edition, Allstate, and was overwhelmed by their unwavering support and ability to embrace all of the necessary changes that were made to this year’s local celebration of National Volunteer Week in response to the current pandemic.
When it comes to responding in the face of crisis, Allstate is no stranger. In fact, they’ve been protecting people for almost 90 years. And now, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, they are working to keep their customers, employees, agencies and communities safe and healthy as we all change our routines to slow the spread of COVID-19. Recognizing that businesses must step up to help those in need, Allstate and The Allstate Foundation are committed to supporting our communities and nonprofit partners.

In the midst of COVID-19, volunteers continue giving their heart, soul and financial support to nonprofits in and around Charlotte. Just not their hands.
During a normal time, FeedNC serves 700 families in the Iredell County region and receives about 10 new food pantry applications a week. Then came COVID-19. Now, the organization has added close to 50 families in just two weeks and has received 10 to 15 calls a day about its pantry, says Executive Director Lara Ingram.
“This is a demand we’re not used to meeting,” she says. And that demand is coming from beyond the borders of Iredell County. “We’re getting calls from all over,” Ingram says, “and we’re having to decide if it makes sense for families to come all the way to Mooresville.” A lot of the staff’s manpower right now is being used to talk to these new families, reach out to social workers and find the best, closest resources to help.
We have so much great news to share from our nonprofit partners about their amazing work. But, we'd love to hear from you. Let us know if you have stories you'd like to tell and we'll make you a guest blogger!!
