Host a Snack or Toy Drive
Last year, over a thousand children received services at Children’s Advocacy Center of Charlotte. Each child who walked through our doors enjoyed snacks and drinks during their visit and went home with a new toy, thanks to generous supporters like you.
How to Host a Drive
We invite you to help stock our snack and toy closets by hosting a drive in your community. Your donations bring comfort, care, and a sense of normalcy to children when they need it most.
