We have partnered with SHARE Charlotte, and through their website they have created an easy way to buy much-needed items for our programs. SHARE Charlotte is your one-stop-shop to making a difference right now in Charlotte, with hundreds of ways to donate, volunteer, and find a cause. In addition, you can order items from the Safe Alliance wishlist on AmazonSmile.
