~LARRY MIMS~ COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH COORDINATOR
This grew out of a desire to be a hand that I myself once needed. There are times in our lives when we all need a hand so why not reach out and be that hand?

Who Are We
Block Love CLT
We are neighbors helping neighbors.
Block Love Charlotte is a community of people from every walk of life, united by compassion and a shared belief that everyone deserves care, dignity, and belonging. Together, we walk alongside our houseless neighbors, meeting real needs and building relationships rooted in love and respect.
What We Do
At Block Love Charlotte, we meet our neighbors where they are — in the streets and at our day service center at 2738 N. Graham Street.
Through daily outreach, meals, and essential resources, we build relationships rooted in dignity and care. Our center provides a safe, welcoming space for rest, connection, and support as our houseless neighbors take steps toward stability and healing. We provide clothing, food, tents, sleeping bags, toiletries, socks, shoes, and whatever else we get donated, and we share with our neighbors who eventually become part of our family. We also help connect our block family to resources, and we encourage them to trust the organizations that are designed to help.
How You Can Help
Shoes, especially sneakers and boots are like gold on the block and we can definitely use donated shoes for men and women that we see weekly. Also blankets, pop top canned foods, towels, wash cloths, and everyday care items are welcome. Please complete the Contact Us form if you wish to donate and or volunteer or send an email to team@blockloveclt.org
