Funder Spotlight: Charlotte Woman's Club |
The Charlotte Woman's Club is the oldest civic organization in Charlotte. Organized in 1899 as the Study Club for Mothers, the group enlarged its membership and civic activities in 1902 and became the Charlotte Woman's Club. The Club established the city's first kindergarten, staffed the bus and Southern Railway stations during both World Wars, and organized the YWCA, PTA, and Traveler's Aid in Charlotte. Their grants have provided critical funding to numerous Charlotte nonprofits. |
|
The Charlotte Woman's Club has contributed $20,000 in support of our Nurse-Family Partnership program over the past 3 years, empowering new mothers to achieve their parenting and life goals.

YOUR IMPACT ON OUR 3 PROGRAMS: |
|
Primary care for people with modest resources
Care Ring has been working hard to ensure our patients are informed about the COVID-19 vaccine. In addition to making patients aware of large-scale and neighborhood vaccination events, we added a page to our website to answer FAQs with links to additional resources and where to get a vaccine.
To further improve access for the underserved, our Clinic partnered with the Mecklenburg County Public Health Department and the Children & Family Services Center (the building where we are located) to hold a COVID-19 vaccine clinic. This event was held on April 16th and was for the clients served by the non-profits in this building and the building staff who work with these clients. Here are some stats from that event:
- 236 Vaccinated
- Avg Household Income of $19,000/year
- 60% lived in public health priority zip codes
- 93% persons of color

Thank you to WSOC-TV's Damany Lewis, who reported on the vaccine clinic. |
Care Ring patient Sharieff said he got the vaccine because he has lost 18 people he knows to COVID-19. |

Comprehensive healthcare for those most in need
Story of Hope: Long-time PRO provider Dr. Tricia Rodney of Smile Charlotte enlisted the help of her fellow dental professionals to transform the smile of one of the teenagers in our program. Your support enables us to recruit and retain awesome providers like the ones in this video into PRO, and our patients are so grateful for the generosity of these providers.

Helping first-time parents succeed
NFP has expanded their outreach efforts, and will now be in-person at the Grier Heights Community Center from 3:30-4:30 every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. Our nurses will be offering free pregnancy tests and resources (including the NFP program); answering questions about infant and child development, birth control and women's health; and will support and encourage the young women of the Grier Heights community with education and fun activities. Your donations make this additional outreach possible, and help us reach the community more directly.
