Sharonview has identified community pillars focusing on three areas of need that all are interconnected. We believe that aiding one area can help bolster the positive effects of the others, creating a circular approach to healing, empowering, and uplifting. Together we can create better stronger communities. To this end,
Alleviating Hunger
Hunger is all around us—at school, work, or in our social groups. Through foodbank donations, volunteering our time to build care packages, and working with local organizations focused on food insecurity, Sharonview is dedicated to providing for our communities. Recent partnerships include Second Harvest Foodbank of the Metrolina, Lancaster Chamber of Commerce “Feed the Funnel” with The Pack Shack, United Way, and The Independence Fund.
Alleviating Homelessness
The Charlotte Housing and Homeless Dashboard indicates over 2,800 individuals in the Charlotte-metro area were without permanent housing in 2023. The number is staggering, yet this area makes up only a portion of the communities we serve. We regularly partner with organizations like Habitat for Humanity to address housing issues in our neighborhoods. We’re also committed to working with organizations to address the root causes for homelessness and how to get our community members into more sustainable housing situations.
Advocating for Mental Health
There is no question that mental health is vital to our overall well-being. By understanding and advocating for proper mental health care, we can create lasting awareness for the illnesses and disorders that affect so many, including our loved ones, friends, colleagues, and neighbors. We were proud to partner with the National Alliance for Mental Illness in 2023 and 2024’s NAMIWalks awareness walk. We also spend time with local community chambers, leadership groups, and schools to empower those around us through camaraderie, mutual respect, and relationship building.
