We were pleased to be chosen by and host The Charlotte Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated over the past two days as part of their annual "22 Acts of Kindness." The chapter volunteered at 22 nonprofit organizations across the county in recognition of the 113th Founders Day of the national sorority and in celebration of sisterhood, service, scholarship, and social action. 22 members volunteered in our Food Pantry, helping to stock and inventory grocery items and assisting shoppers. They also received a tour of our facility, conducted by our CEO and fellow Delta Tchernavia Montgomery. Staff members and fellow DST Wanda Williams, Stephanie Malloy, and Norika Fisher also helped out, along with our Board Chair Andrea Wages. Thanks ladies!

🤯CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING UPDATE from our friends at LISC Charlotte about the renewal of our FREE Uber Health rides grant:

“LISC Charlotte is proud to renew our partnership with Care Ring, expanding access to free Uber Health rides for patients across Mecklenburg County 🚗. Backed by a $100,000 grant from the LISC Health Access Fund, this initiative helps ensure transportation is not a barrier to critical health care and essential services.

Since launching in 2023, this partnership has supported:

● 17,240+ free rides to medical appointments, grocery stores, social services, and more.
● A 50% reduction in no-show rates at Care Ring!
● More consistent access to preventative and primary care for residents with low incomes.

The renewed funding will also support Care Ring’s Two-Generation care model, helping mothers and infants receive coordinated care in a single visit, reducing maternal and infant health risks while easing scheduling and transportation challenges. In total, Care Ring has received $300,000 in Health Care Access funding!

‘At LISC, we know that equitable health access is essential to building stronger communities,’ said Ralphine Caldwell, Senior Executive Director of LISC Charlotte. ‘By investing in practical solutions like transportation, we are directly improving health outcomes for Charlotte families.’

We’re grateful to Uber, PayPal, and Walgreens for helping us continue this important work. Together, we’re removing barriers and building healthier communities—one ride at a time.”

💙💙💙WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE:

“Mom called because her vehicle had broken down and her wheelchair bound son needed to go to Levine Children's Hospital to receive his weekly chemo/ cancer treatment. We were able to provide transportation services for the patient to not miss any of his cancer treatments for a week until mom was able to get her vehicle repaired.” — PRO Program Supervisor Jessica Rivera 💙💙💙

LISC’s Health Access Fund, a collaboration with Uber, has helped 46,000 people overcome transportation hurdles to health care and social services since 2022. Now, LISC and Uber are expanding our collaboration with grants to 11 community-focused health organizations across the country.
