SHARE CHARLOTTE has challenged the Charlotte community to come together for a common good and raise $8 million for #GivingTuesdayCLT. That’s a pretty big number, but we have a few easy ways you can contribute to this goal and #GiveGoodCLT.
“After the unrest in September, Charlotte needs goodness and positivity more than ever to begin to heal. We can each bring something to the table; we can all do something GOOD for this city.” – Kelly Brooks, Founder of SHARE Charlotte.
SHOP TO DO GOOD:
Businesses throughout Charlotte have committed to donating a portion of their sales on Tuesday, November 29th to specific charities or to Share Charlotte’s general fund which will be distributed to the more than 170 nonprofits participating in the campaign.
Here are a few of our favorite stores who have pledged their support, and the non-profits who will benefit when you shop on Tuesday:
