The event is presented by A Giving Heart Project, a Charlotte based nonprofit focused on eliminating barriers for people in need. The organization runs three programs: Heart for the Homeless, Heart for the Community, and Heart for the Youth.
Services described for these programs include trauma informed case management, long term relational support, housing stability services, and direct resource connection to address food insecurity, clothing access, and transportation barriers.

The fundraiser seeks to raise $10,000 to reduce homelessness and barriers to resources in Mecklenburg County. Funds are intended to support hotel costs, rental support, down payment assistance, first and last month rent for people transitioning to stable housing, and utility support.
