Ten for Ten
Support Initiative

Our Heart

Ten for Ten was created from a simple belief: small acts of intentional care can change lives. What began as a youth‑focused initiative has grown into a mission centered on serving individuals experiencing homelessness in Charlotte — especially during the coldest months of the year.

We believe dignity is a right. Warmth is a necessity. Hope is a lifeline. And compassion is a calling.

Ten for Ten exists to meet people where they are, offering practical support, emotional encouragement, and faith‑rooted connection to those who often feel unseen.
 

Our Mission

Ten for Ten is a seasonal outreach initiative dedicated to providing ten winter‑ready care kits twice a year to individuals experiencing homelessness. Each kit is intentionally curated to meet real needs — warmth, hygiene, nourishment, and encouragement — during the months when cold temperatures make survival even harder.

Our mission is simple: Bring warmth, restore dignity, and remind our neighbors that they are not forgotten.

Why This Work Matters

Charlotte’s homeless community faces unique challenges — especially during fall and winter. Cold temperatures can be dangerous, shelters fill quickly, and many individuals lack access to basic necessities.

Ten for Ten steps in as a bridge of compassion. Not a large organization. Not a massive program. Just intentional care, delivered with dignity.

This initiative reminds our neighbors that someone sees them, someone cares, and someone is willing to show up.

How We Serve

Ten for Ten operates with a simple rhythm:

Twice a Year

We assemble and distribute ten care kits during the coldest seasons.

Face‑to‑Face Connection

We deliver kits directly to individuals in need — offering warmth, conversation, prayer, and encouragement.

Community Collaboration

We partner with local shelters, warming centers, and outreach groups to ensure people receive the support they need.

Faith in Action

Every kit includes a scripture card and a reminder that God sees them, loves them, and has not forgotten their story.
 

Why Charlotte

Charlotte is a thriving city with a growing homeless population. From Uptown to transit hubs to hidden corners of the community, many individuals face daily hardship without support.

Ten for Ten is our way of saying: We see you. We care. We’re here.
