A Celebration for You Foundation

On behalf of Nina Massey, executive director, volunteers, board of directors and, most importantly, clients, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Matthew, General Manager at AC Hotel Charlotte SouthPark and Renaissance Charlotte SouthPark Hotel for hosting our winter coat drive.

To all of the donors who dropped off coats, we send a heartfelt thank-you for supporting our organization and the One Warm Coat Program and its mission to provide free coats to children and adults in need.

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also observed in support of taking action against gender inequality around the world. We all know the world couldn’t run without women (we mean, just listen to Beyoncé). This is the day to appreciate their efforts!

Black History Month is a time to recognize the important role of Black individuals in American history and celebrate their achievements while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in the movement toward racial equality. To help you reflect on what Black History Month means, we've rounded up some of the most moving quotes from influential Black figures. From civil rights activists to world leaders, these individuals have paved the way for the future of our country.

Why is it so important to give back to your community?

It is important to find a cause you love and volunteer in your community. Spending time enriching your community is a great way to broaden your perceptions of the world. By immersing yourself in a community and surrounding yourself with people who are dedicated to bettering the world, you can learn so much about how the world works. You gain a unique sense of purpose by serving those around you, one which often manifests in other areas of your life.

A Celebration for You Foundation updated their business hours.

To me, it is important to celebrate milestones. It is as much to recognise the journey that you have been on as it is to give the opportunity to set new goals for the future.
Today is A Celebration for You Foundation 2 year anniversary. From the personal care kit drive for the homeless, winter coat give away, birthday celebrations, holiday parties and activity work shops hosted for children living at The Harvest Center and The Relatives, the experiences I’ve had over the past 2 years have truly been very special and a real privilege to have been a part of.
Our mission is to create memorable experiences that inspires change. I think we’ve been achieving that mission.
I have been very fortunate throughout this period to have a tremendous amount of support from people like you in our community. I thank each and everyone whose been a essential part of our success.

This month we have 7 birthday wishes to grant and we’ll kick-off our annual Christmas Eve Box Drive. I’ll post more details on both later this week. If you’d like to donate please reach out.

Hello October!
And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep, and autumn was awakened. 🍁

I was in the middle of creating the Birthday Wishlist Flyer for this months birthday child living at The Harvest Center, when I heard our organizations Cashapp notification. I checked the app and to my surprise there was a monetary donation from one of our supporters. Dana Land, words cannot express the grateful appreciation we feel for your generous gift. We were able to purchase all 3 gifts from the wishlist.
Thank you for an unexpected but caring gift. Such a nice surprise.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
Today we celebrate moms, but homeless moms or moms living in transitional housing are usually forgotten. This Mother’s Day we decided to do something special for the moms residing at The Harvest Center of Charlotte.

Every mother who resides at The Harvest Center is working towards self-sufficiency, independence, and better future for herself and for her children.

In an effort to make these moms feel special, A Celebration for you Foundation gifted each mom with Pedicure in a Jar. A special “thank you” to our Executive Director Nina Massey for dedicating her talent and items (including making homemade foot scrub) to make the moms feel fantastic!

The communities continued support allow us to provide these types of gifts for the residents of The Harvest Center as well as other beneficial programs.
Thank you!

Over the weekend we had the pleasure of meeting 7 wonderful kids between the age of 7-17 at The Relatives Youth Crisis Center . We gave each child a 8x10 blank canvas and asked them to write a encouraging quote they repeat to themselves when they are having a bad day or need inspiration. We came prepared with quotes of our own just incase they didnt have one. To our surprise, each child already had a quote memorized. Our hearts melted🥰. Take a look!

We are fresh off vacation refreshed and revived! Ready to continue our mission of creating memorable experiences that inspires change in disadvantaged youth in our community.
