Every year, roughly 20,000 young people turn 18 in foster care and venture out on their own. Most of these youth are leaving with all of their memories and belongings in a trash bag.

The 2024 goal is to provide 100 suitcases and luggage pieces to aging out Youth who are in need in Mecklenburg County.

We need your support!! Drop off your gently used luggage bags at West Charlotte Recreation Center during business hours! are

🌟 Flashback Friday, circa 2016🌟

Today, let’s rewind the clock and revisit the very beginning of Brand New Direction. It all started with two women, Shenequa & Brandi, who shared a vision and a passion for making a positive impact on their community. 🙌🏾

Back then, we were just two individuals who recognized a need and decided to be the change we wanted to see. We were determined to empower and uplift those in our community who needed it the most, one step at a time. 💪🏾💪🏾

Over the years, we’ve grown, learned, and expanded our efforts, but our commitment to creating a better future for underserved individuals, remains as strong as ever. 💜

So, as we take this drive down memory lane, we celebrate our humble beginnings and look forward to the bright future ahead. Together, we can continue making a real difference. Stay tuned for more flashbacks and updates as we keep moving forward!
