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 a group of individuals from all backgrounds, races, and beliefs that have come together to meet the needs held in common by our houseless neighbors.
What We Do
We ask for donations from all over the city of Charlotte and surrounding areas that we take out every Sunday morning at 8:30am to what we have officially dubbed as the block on the corner of North Tryon and Phifer Avenue in Uptown Charlotte. 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.
We have recently been able to carry supplies to other blocks including near Northlake, Brookshire, N. Tryon, and Sugar Creek. We are hoping that more will join our team so we can expand our efforts.
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
