Charlotte Mecklenburg Dream Center

Volunteers join us at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Dream Center to prepare our world famous chili cheese dogs that our street ministry team will distribute through uptown. Volunteers meet us at king's kitchen beginning at 7:30 p.m. for a time of prayer before taking to the streets of uptown, in groups, to distribute food, and most importantly, encouragement. Our volunteers spend time hearing the stories of our homeless neighbors, praying for them, and connecting with them on a personal level.
