Mission
Champions of Change's primary exempt purpose is to provide support for homeless and foster families. This includes providing wraparound and supplemental services for these families to supply additional food, clothing, housing, and other resources that they may be lacking. Additionally, Champions of Change provides exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime experiences for these families that they would not participate in otherwise.
Program accomplishments
- Hotels for the Holidays - Last December, we blessed over 250 of our homeless friends with an all-expenses-paid 3-day, 2-night staycation in a hotel so that their children did not have to wake up in shelters on Christmas. This was done in 4 cities: New York, NY, Nashville, TN, Charlotte, NC, and Rochester, NY. Champions of Change provided each guest with warm pajamas, all meals, gifts and stockings, trees, and decorations in every room.Expenses $67,618
- Feed a Family for Thanksgiving - Champions of Change provided Thanksgiving baskets for nearly 200 families in Rochester, NY and the greater Charlotte, NC area with over 6,000 lbs. of food. Also included were $25 gift cards for each family to buy a turkey and additional fixings for their Thanksgiving dinners.Expenses $15,425
- Princess Parties and Birthday Paint Parties for foster children - Hosted princess parties for foster girls and birthday paint parties for foster children throughout the year. Each party included painting canvases and paint materials, food, gifts, and prizes for the foster children and their accompanying foster parents. Each of the children received "Birthdays in a Bag" complete with cake, frosting, balloons, other decorations, and gifts so that they could celebrate on their actual birthday as well.Expenses $9,247
- Champions of Change hosted low-income families for nights out on the town. Groups of foster families were treated to live theater in Uptown Charlotte at the Belk Theater to watch Hamilton, Annie, and participate in Monopoly Live.Expenses $9,600
- Additional community services in support of homeless and foster individuals and families are provided ad hoc throughout the year as funding permits: providing one-time financial support to families to help pay rent and utilities and buy groceries, sending meals to families in need, sending care packages to foster youth struggling in college, and providing furniture to homeless families who have been newly placed in their apartments are some examples of the work that Champions of Change does to help fill financial gaps for low-income families.Expenses $24,657
