One last project, one last push

To our supporters,


We are counting down the hours until "Hands On Charlotte Day." Thank you to everyone who has signed up and donated to this year's event. There are only about 24 hours left to sign up. How about we tackle one last project? Here's the story:

We need you at Shamrock Elementary School this Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon. Shamrock is a low-resource, high-poverty school, where almost 90 percent of the students receive free or reduced lunch.

Shamrock approached us early in the planning of "Hands On Charlotte Day" and asked us to help plant a garden. We were thrilled at the challenge. The school wants the garden - which you will fill with all sorts of edible goodies - specifically to teach students about healthy living, nutrition and agriculture.

Will you help us fill the 21 remaining spots on this project? If you can't come out Saturday, then we hope you will consider making a small charitable donation. "Hands On Charlotte Day" is our primary annual fundraiser, and we depend on it to sustain our programming. Thank you for your support.


Together in service,

Rob Hammock
Director of Strategic Partnerships
Hands On Charlotte
