Hearts for the Invisible

Charlotte Coalition

The Hearts for the Invisible Charlotte Coalition is comprised of front-line nonprofit organizations that have joined together with a common purpose of housing the homeless by assisting with the production of affordable housing here in Mecklenburg county. Our coalition was formed to directly respond to the tent city, homelessness crisis and lack of affordable housing opportunity and its members have already been individually providing services within this community. Our members have all been sponsoring and assisting this vulnerable population through housing provision where possible and providing basic needs during the pandemic. Services we continue to provide include food, personal care and first aid supplies, community cleanup and sanitation, showers, and survival supplies such as tents, sleeping bags, clothing, and much more.

Please sign our PETITION to Charlotte City officials to create emergency sheltering for our tent city neighbors.

To Donate for our initiatives, we can accept donations through our fiscal sponsor, Hearts and Hands Foundation. Please click HERE to donate and memo your donation "TENT CITY"

Behind Every Story

Behind every story there's an unspoken truth of stories that relate to us all. Though visual art, here we expose, reveal and relate with the mission to break chains and build change. While providing clothing and hygiene products to the less fortunate in our community, we also connect individuals to resources to match their specific needs.
