The Relatives Family Update

Please ensure you scroll down to read all of the recent stories in this newsletter.

What’s your favorite holiday tradition? Is it a favorite meal or is there a movie you always watch with friends or family? At The Relatives, we have our own favorites. Since you are part of our family, I invite you to share these traditions with me and make a connection with the young people we serve.

On Sunday December 10^th from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., we’ll host our annual Caroling With The Relatives event. I would love for you, your friends, and your family to join us for this special event. It means a great deal to the young people at the Crisis Center. You can RSVP to Casey Field.

The young adults at the Resource Center will enjoy a holiday party with gifts, games, and special holiday treats on Friday December 15^th. It’s something I look forward to every year! I hope you will consider making the holidays a happier time for our youth by helping set-up or shopping our Amazon Wishlist.

I am so grateful to everyone who has reached out to ask about our young people’s needs during the holiday season. The simple truth is they need you. This newsletter is filled with ways you can help the young people at The Relatives and, perhaps, create a new favorite holiday tradition.

Thank you for being a Relative and for giving our young people the happiness, joy, and love they need.

The Giving Machine comes to Charlotte

The Relatives is thrilled to be a part of Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s first ever Light The World Giving Machine, a unique way to support our young people, sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Please join us for the kickoff event on Wednesday December 13^th at 5:30 p.m. at the Promenade on Providence (10844 Providence Rd.) to be among the first to experience The Giving Machine in Charlotte!

The Giving Machine works like any vending machine only instead of purchasing a soda or bag of chips, you can ensure young people at The Relatives receive desperately needed items, such as socks, underwear, sheets, and work attire.

You can click here to learn more about The Giving Machine and see Relatives staff members discuss the needs facing our youth.
