Who We Are
Charity League of Charlotte (CLC) is an all women’s volunteer non-profit that has supported children in our most underserved communities since 1921.
Working with school principals, social workers, and other community organizations, the dedicated women of CLC have been looking into children’s faces and seeing promise and possibility for decades.
​
But we also see needs – for clothing, books and basic supplies - that provide the comfort and security required for these children to succeed. That is why we established CLC HUBS in our partner schools, to stock critical care items that enable students to participate fully and flourish.
​
Our mission is to enhance the lives of Charlotte-area children by promoting academic achievement, pro-social behavior and self-worth through volunteerism.

"CLC has been a lifeline to our school's families, especially those in housing crises. This organization helps ease the financial burdens that parents and guardians are currently enduring, despite working full-time or multiple part-time jobs, while maintaining a level of dignity. Members also show appreciation to our staff and donate countless volunteer hours that go a long way. I am extremely thankful for their show of support to Hidden Valley Elementary School."
-Barbara Konadu-Ford, HVE Social Worker​

Charity League is committed to providing an inclusive environment that welcomes members of all backgrounds regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and physical disability.
