Thank you, Church at Charlotte!

Brookstone was greeted last week by Cathleen Gallagher and the week prior by Robin Weaver, both loving volunteers and also members at Church at Charlotte. They had very good news to share!

Church at Charlotte selected Brookstone as the recipient of two separate grants through their Jeremiah Fund, totaling $1,500. This is a program that invites their church members to apply for a grant to be given to a non-profit organization in Charlotte where they have volunteered at least 20+ hours.

Cathleen and Robin are both dedicated "Lunch Buddies" at Brookstone.

We are honored to receive such a meaningful gift. Not only was a check handed to us, but with it came much encouragement! Thank you to everyone at Church at Charlotte for recognizing our mission to represent Christ well and to make a difference in the future of the young children here in Charlotte.
