ASHLEY PARK – Ashley Park is a K-8 school in West Charlotte near our South End site. We have the privilege of building relationships with the staff and student body by serving both on an individual and school-wide level. Our participation looks like serving quarterly lunches for teachers, mural painting, planting a garden, attending school functions, participating at career day (May), state testing proctoring (May), field day (June), and being a lunch buddy (1st Friday of the month). We’d love for you to join us! One way to immediately support is by purchasing an item for their Dojo Point incentive program. Students earn points for positive behavior and can “buy” prizes with earned points monthly. Your support helps take the financial burden off of teachers and helps to improve classroom performance.

BROOKDALE SOUTHPARK – Brookdale SouthPark is the only and the most proximal stand-alone Memory Care community in South Charlotte. Generation Friends is a 30 minute monthly visit by a group of anyone: babies and parents, empty nesters and retirees, people with loved ones who have had Alzheimers or other dementias, teens who need service hours, people who are familiar with loneliness…anyone can come. We would like to become a dependable presence in these hallways that are often quiet, anxious, or sad. We hope to both visit and serve the residents – hosting Bingo nights, hymn sings, sports watch parties, craft times, manicures, reminiscing conversations and having a wheelchair car wash! If you would like to be part of an effort to befriend these often neglected neighbors of ours, will you sign up with your name and number on our volunteer board in the lobby? You will be contacted from there. Reach out to Erika Taura if you’d like to know more!
