Superior School of Real Estate is partnering with A Child’s Place (Charlotte Mecklenburg School System) in order to assist homeless children and their families. There are over 2,400 homeless children in our school system (a 20% increase) and much of this increase can be attributed to the mortgage crisis and foreclosures.
Increasing food needs among A Child’s Place families have forced us to establish a Food Pantry for the 2008-09 school year.
Please help us help our families by donating the following:
Requested Food Items:
• Canned beef stew
• Canned Fruits
• Tuna
• Canned Soups
• Macaroni & Cheeses
• 100% Fruit Juices
• Tuna
• Rice
• Dry Beans
• Ramen Noodles
• Canned Vegetables
• Cereals
Non-food items are also greatly appreciated. The most frequently needed are:
• $25 – $50 grocery gift cards (preferably Food Lion or Bi-Lo)
• Diapers
• Baby Wipes
• Personal Hygiene Items
Contact Teri Carano at 704-944-4260.
Superior School of Real Estate is a drop-off site. Donations may be delivered Monday-Friday between 10am and 4:00pm to our office at 14815 John J. Delaney Drive Suite 270 Charlotte, NC 28277.
