Leigh Brown & Associates is thrilled to support local charities that are near and dear to our hearts. We have always placed an emphasis on giving back to our community – whether it’s through our Christmas giving campaign, delivering meals to those in need, participating in Harrisburg’s Annual Halloween event and 4th of July parade, and more! For the remainder of 2015, we want to change things up a bit. Instead of giving closing gifts to our clients, we want to make a donation on behalf of each closed client to a local charity. Our goal is to donate $???? by the end of 2015. We are really excited about this and we know our clients will be too!
Following you will find the charities which will receive our donations.
CABARRUS MEALS ON WHEELS
Cabarrus Meals on Wheels provides home-bound seniors and individuals with disabilities at well-balanced, nutritious meal 5 days a week. Our loyal volunteers also offer a safety check so seniors can stay longer in their homes and live independently. Founded in 1974, our program has grown over the years to include all of Cabarrus County. Hunger among our senior neighbors remains a serious issue. One out of every seven seniors goes hungry every day. They suffer from a variety of disabilities such as severe arthritis, blindness, and heart disease leaving them frail and physically unable to prepare their own meal.
CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK
62 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital for treatment every minute. Whether they suffer from common childhood afflictions like asthma and broken bones, or fight bigger challenges like birth defects or cancer, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals provide comfort, treatment and hope to millions of sick kids. In fact, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals treat one in 10 children in North America each year. These kids aren’t in faraway countries or from opposite sides of the nations – they’re in your community. They may be your own children. The local Charlotte partner is Levine Children’s Hospital.
CRISIS ASSISTANCE MINISTRY
Crisis Assistance Ministry is Mecklenburg County’s leading agency providing the working poor with emergency rent and utility assistance, clothing, household goods, and furniture. An independent non-profit agency, Crisis Assistance Ministry was created in 1975 as a place of financial recovery for families in urgent financial crisis. Today our mission remains the same.
FRIENDSHIP TRAYS – Meals on Wheels in Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Friendship Trays generally delivers more than 600 meals daily to elderly, handicapped, and convalescing people who are unable or greatly restricted in their ability to prepare or secure meals and who reside within the area we can reach with our corps of drivers. While all recipients are asked to pay for their meals based on their ability to pay, recipient income alone does not pay for Friendship Trays. Sponsors include approximately 80 faith-based communities and organizations, as well as civic organizations and businesses.
