WELCOME TO HEAL CHARLOTTE
From this, what was previously known as the Charlotte Community Coalition, eventually became the award-winning Heal Charlotte; one of Charlotte’s youngest and most inspirational community empowerment and youth advocacy non-profit organizations.”
HOW IT ALL BEGAN ?
In the Fall of 2016 two protesters, Greg Jackson and Antuan Smith banned together during the unfortunate Charlotte riots in pursuit of justice and founded the Charlotte Community Coalition. Although Antuan and Greg valiantly pursued justice what they inevitably discovered was passion, purpose and destined placement in serving the communities of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Through much support, mentors and partners the Charlotte Community Coalition found it's niche and honed in to advancing communities, impacting youth and partnering law enforcement, city officials and civic services to advance the communities of Charlotte. This new found calling centered around one goal and that was to heal the heart beat of Charlotte, it's communities and the future of the city, the youth.

Nonprofit’s $5M investment campaign could turn motel into transitional housing in north Charlotte

Heal Charlotte and the Reagan Drive Initiative have been brainstorming ways to improve the lives of people who live near Interstate 85 and Sugar Creek Road.Yesterday was our 4th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner feeding over 250 people. Spectrum News came to cover the event and to talk about organizations like Heal Charlotte getting funding support from the City of Charlotte.
Thanksgiving is a holiday for feast, love, and family. This includes individuals who are not fortunate enough to have their own home, kitchen or family.
Thank you for everyone who came out to this event to support us and help feed 250 people!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Please join us Sunday evening to remember one of our own, Alhaji Kamara, who died Thursday night in a tragic car accident. We love you and won’t forget you, Haji.
We got a little dirt underneath our fingernails in Orchard Trace this weekend, y'all. Yesterday we planted six trees in the neighborhood in partnership with Trees Charlotte, Novant Health, and the Charlotte North Rotary. It's our little contribution to try to help maintain our city's beautiful tree canopy. More than that, though, it's an opportunity for the kids to see how the little things we plant today can grow into big things tomorrow.
Alright, Charlotte. It's November, and you know what that means. It's time to give.
On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we’ll head back to the Salvation Army Center for Women and Children for our 4th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner, where we'll feed more than 400 families.
We need your help with food and volunteers. Last year we had help from NFL legend Randy Moss and former mayor Jennifer Roberts. Will you join us this year?

Good Monday morning, Charlotte! You're looking at five of your city's finest young people, now certified in babysitting and childcare services. Heal Charlotte paid for their all-day class at the American Red Cross of the Greater Carolinas on Saturday, and will help each of them get their business going. The best part? Taking the class was completely their idea.
Hey hey everyone I pray all is well. On this day 3 days ago, I had the pleasure of taking our #healcharlotteyouthcamp youth to the #governorsmansion for a presentation and dedication to afterschool programming throughout #nc called #keepthelightson.
