Their team has produced a series of short documentary videos that capture how diverse religious communities are responding to the pandemic--often through virtual efforts. Watch for the release of films highlighting MeckMIN's efforts to mobilize our diverse faith communities to meet critical needs during the pandemic.
MeckMIN Interfaith Youth Events
We continue to have regular activities for middle and high school youth, both Covid-safe, in-person service activities and "get to know you" Zoom gatherings. If you work with youth and would like to get notices about these events, email LeDayne at ledayne@meckmin.org.

We are obviously paying close attention to the pandemic and we believe we'll be able to safely offer some version of the experience this July 15-18, 2021. We would be very grateful if you would share the invitation below with any youth going into 10, 11, or 12 grade. Of course, a one on one conversation would have the most impact so if you know of young people who might be interested, it would be GREAT if you could mention it to them.

2. Tent City Updates : How to Help our Displaced Neighbors
Tent City residents are being assisted in the County-mandated transition to shelter by a number of non-profits that are coordinating together. The list below is not comprehensive but represents many of those who have been updating us and who are working with one another. Please see our web site for a list with key contact people, emails, and phone numbers
Seeking Justice CLT (Kass’s personal page which is updated frequently:
The organization page: https://www.facebook.com/SeekingjusticeClt.
Hearts Beat as One
Representatives from some of these groups updated us on what they were seeing and understanding. Several of the speakers emphasized that they had no more warning than the rest of us didabout the displacement. Due to the very tight time frame, they are still assessing what the people being displaced are going to need. They asked us to be patient and to check back in for updates.
Kass Ottley, (704)576-0010, seekingjusticeclt@gmail.com
They are seeing a number of people who are concerned about their belongings because they can only bring two bags and they don’t know what will happen to their tents and sleeping bags etc. They have some doubt that they will get a placement in housing after the 90 day emergency shelter expires. Seeking Justice has been handing out bins which are a bit more spacious. When Kass left last night they didn’t need more but they have a bunch on standby. There are a number of residents who have concerns about the rules being handed out around the temporary shelter as well. Some may have diabetes for example and are unsure whether the box lunches will be adequate. There are other concerns as well. SeekingJusticeCLT is working to get hotel rooms for those folks. SeekingJusticeCLT could use financial support for this effort. They should have more complete numbers on how many hotel rooms are needed by tomorrow and will post updates on Kass’s Facebook page.
Lucia Coppola, coppolaluciajames@gmail.com
There is a ton of misinformation being distributed. Please make an effort to get correct information by reaching out directly to organizations. Don’t dump donations at tent city right now. There is a ton of trash and rodents as a result. ReVamp is at the encampment working to help with the transition.
Dr. Blanche Penn, blanche10penn@gmail.com, 704.890.4101
They are working to ensure that the residents can get the services they need. They are trying to ensure that everything is being done decently and in order. Agree that there is a lot of misinformation.
Josh Bridges, usk@universitysoupkitchen,org, (980) 263-9348
Dr. Penn wanted to lift up the work of University Soup Kitchen as Josh could not be on the call. They are there every day. They feed people and HAVE been feeding people for a long time and have a system. They are always looking for volunteers: Sign Up Here!
They are providing meals for those who are transitioning today. They may need volunteer help. Reach out to www.leahshopesanddreams.org to find out if you can help.
Ashley Brown, Innkeeper@roofabove.org
They had a lot of people go into quarantine from the men’s shelter but as of last Friday all completed quarantine safely and now are at a hotel.
They do not yet know what space they will need for recently displaced neighbors. They have 36-40 beds available and are bringing 20 extra beds through a room at the inn church uptown. Folks will be entering those spaces this coming weekend (tonight through Sunday) That will open up additional beds at overflow.
Roof Above is assisting the County to ensure that all get the right information about where to go and doing rapid testing for covid if desired (not a requirement.) They are expecting all tent city residents to be relocated by Friday evening. Flyers are being passed out with the rules from the County about what is expected in the motels/hotels. Ashley will try to get a copy that can be shared with the minutes in response to concern about the rules. (See attached.) While Roof Above’s name is on the flyer, the rules are from The County. The County will be assisting with meals and wrap around services, but Roof Above and others are still looking to see what the gaps might be.
Roof Above does not currently need physical donations but stay tuned because something may pop up soon. Financial donations are welcome. If there are volunteer opportunities you can find them on the website along with wish list items if they are needed. To sign up to bring meals to the new hotel, go here: https://www.signupgenius.com/tabs/43070da07a1cbeec24-tryonrelocation
Folks in encampment are the priority for the County hotel over those with needs outside of the encampment. Roof Above has other hotels for those not in the encampment.
The focus is currently on the most visible section around college street but the plan is to move everyone.
Carolina Business Alliance, Uday Vedre, vedre_uday@hotmail.com shared that they might be able to help Roof Above secure additional hotel rooms.
General questions and information about the relocation:
There is not clarity around pets and the hotels. Service animals are allowed, some indication that pets that were present at tent city will be allowed but not others.
Concern was raised about those with mental health or substance abuse issues – where will they go and what will happen with them as the rules don’t allow for these issues. Ashley said that she wasn’t sure if it was a one-chance rule where if you broke it you were out but she said that the Health dept. was providing wrap around services to help folks get into rehab and get what they needed before they enter a hotel. The hotels are drug-free environments.
List of Orgs: A list of orgs that have been working at the site is under development. It will be shared as it is being finalized.
Press conference: Robin Sands shared a link to the press conference from health department immediately before the call. They confirmed that bins rather than bags could be used and they said service animals were welcome.
Question about what will happen after the 90 days: There was little consensus on what will happen afterwards. Roof Above said they anticipate the 90 days being extended but there was not yet a plan in place for what to do after the temporary order expires, whenever that is. There was general concern that a plan should be thought through for what happens after.
People in tent city over 65+ have been offered vaccines.
Glencie Rhedrick asked whether there was a need for storage spaces for residents and Lucia Coppola of ReVampCLT said that she thought Hearts Beat as One was managing that. Stephen Cheyney has a lead. scheyney@uncc.edu
General question: Which groups on this call have 501c3 status?
501c3 status: Leah’s Hopes and Dreams,TORC, Roof Above, University Soup Kitchen; Loaves and Fishes, Dilworth Soup Kitchen, Lionel Lee Center, Carolina Business Alliance, The Walker House for New Beginnings, Rose’s Health and Home, Vote Riders
501c3 pending: Seeking JusticeCLT
If you are interested in providing a substantial gift ($250 or more) to an organization doing good work without 501c3 status and that is important to you, reach out to LeDayne who may be able to make MeckMIN a pass-through for your donation.
3. Covid Vaccine Resources - Support the Vaccine Effort!
Host a Vaccination Clinic for your Community:
Mecklenburg Public Health has created a website where groups can sign up to co-host a community-based vaccine clinic. Your clients and communities trust you and hosting a vaccination clinic is a great way to ensure that those that you serve do not miss out on this essential health measure.
Share Vaccination Information:
Nonprofits are trusted messengers, and many North Carolinians are more likely to take important public health actions if the message comes from a familiar nonprofit organization rather than a government official. Your nonprofit can make a big difference in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic by spreading information about the availability, safety, and importance of vaccines.
On Wednesday, the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced that North Carolina will be opening vaccines to educators, school personnel, and child care workers beginning on February 24. Right now, North Carolina is vaccinating health care workers, long-term care staff and residents, and people 65 and older.
DHHS tools that can help nonprofits spread the word about vaccines include:
An online Find My Group tool to help North Carolinians know when they will be eligible to get their vaccine.
A Find My Spot search tool to help North Carolinians locate vaccine providers near where they live and work.
A newly expanded COVID-19 vaccine help center that is available by phone at 888-675-4567 on Mondays-Fridays from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. and on weekends from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. The help center provides support in English, Spanish, and TTY. Callers can get help with general COVID-19 vaccine questions, information on eligibility groups, clinical questions about the vaccine, how to find vaccine locations, and transportation services.
An updated COVID-19 vaccine communications toolkit with ready-made materials to provide clear and accurate information about the safe and effective vaccines.
Vaccination Appointments: Mecklenburg County Public Health (MCPH) continues to work hard to provide vaccine appointments for eligible community members, which currently includes:
Group 1: healthcare workers with current in-person patient contact and long-term care facility staff and residents. Includes clinical staff, administrative and support staff, home health workers, community health workers, environmental services (cleaning) staff, food services staff, medical caregivers, medical interpreters, pharmacists, etc. Click here for more information
Group 2 (persons ages 65 and older) : MCPH currently still has a limited number of appointments available in the next several days for Groups 1 and Groups 2. Please share this information with eligible Group 1 and Group 2 individuals!
How to Make an Appointment for the COVID-19 Vaccine with MCPH:
Phone: Call the MCPH COVID Hotline at 980-314-9400 (Option 3 English/Option 8 Spanish)
Online:Appointments may still be available online for Group 1 and Group 2 by using the following link: https://book.appointment-plus.com/83g1hcpv/#/
This link can also be accessed through our COVID-19 Vaccine Website at mecknc.gov/COVID-19.
If no appointments are available online, eligible Group 1 or Group 2 residents should do one of the following:
Call the MCPH COVID-19 Hotline at 980-314-9400 Option 3 (English)/Option 8 (Spanish) to ask about appointment availability
Email MCPH at MeckCVMS@mecknc.gov regarding appointment availability
Join the Waitlist: We encourage anyone who is eligible and unable to make an appointment to join MCPH’s COVID-19 Vaccine waitlist and we will contact them as soon as possible about an appointment.

5. Grants
Capital Grants for Historic Houses of Worship: National Fund for Sacred Places
The National Fund for Sacred Places, a program of Partners for Sacred Places in collaboration with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, provides support to community-serving congregations to aid in the stewardship of their historic facilities. The first and only program of its kind, the Fund offers the following types of support:
Grants for the planning and execution of urgent capital projects at historic churches that are valued for their cultural importance as well as their role in providing human services, strengthening communities, and revitalizing neighborhoods;
Training, capacity-building, and technical assistance to ensure that grant-funded projects are successfully planned and implemented.
Projects must be able to raise matching funds at a 1:1 rate for grants of $50,000 to $100,000; grants from $100,001 to $250,000 require matching funds of 2:1. Letters of intent must be submitted by March 15, 2021; full applications will be due July 14, 2021. Detailed application guidelines are available on the Fund's website.
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation (CMCF) is a permanent endowment at Foundation For The Carolinas that envisions a community where every resident is afforded the opportunity to be well educated, safely housed, meaningfully employed and actively engaged in community decisions. Further, CMCF believes that the preservation and protection of our natural resources and environmentally conscious decision-making are vital to maintain our community’s quality of life. The grant cycle for the Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation’s Children and Youth Grants Program opens on February 26, and closes on April 2. Award notifications will be sent out mid-June. As part of its grantmaking, the Children and Youth Committee is dedicated to fostering a landscape of economic opportunity for all children. Funding priority will be given to programs which encourage economic opportunity or upward mobility for children in our county. Please see the grant application for additional information. The Foundation typically awards grants between $10,000-$50,000 to eligible organizations. However, actual award amounts will be determined based on merit of the project and available funds.

Partner Agencies: In February, CMS staff from 29 schools shopped at the McCrorey for coats and shoes for the students attending schools where they serve. This kind of coordination is made possible through Crisis Assitance Ministry’s Partner Agency Shopping Service which invites community organizations to visit by appointment and select items for distribution to the individuals and families they serve. CMS staff had an abundance of choice thanks to the many coats donated during WSOC-TV’s Steve’s Coats for Kids and shoes thanks to the donations by Rack Room Shoes and others. With help from McCrorey YMCA and Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, this partnership means 800 students in Central 1 Learning Community returned to the classroom ready to learn. If you are interested in becoming a community partner, please fill out our form.

Willing folks are needed to help inspect and prepare donated items, receive donations at the donation door, and stock the Free Store. Appropriate COVID precautions are in place for these options beginning March 2nd
Prayer for NonProfit Leaders
May you hear clearly what you are called to do and to be, today, tomorrow, and this week. And may you have the strength and courage to do it. May you hear just as clearly what is NOT yours to do and to be, and may you have the strength and courage to leave those things to others, or even to leave them undone.
We are grateful for you and we pray for you.
