Since 1989, Charlotte Wine + Food has donated over $8 million to our charitable beneficiaries. Your tax-deductible donation can help to improve the life of a child, right here in our local community. Each of our four beneficiary organizations has its own unique mission, and we’re thrilled to share the ways your dollars can make a difference.
Beds for kids
Beds for Kids provides beds and essential furniture to Charlotte families transitioning out of poverty, whether they are overcoming homelessness, domestic abuse, or instability, helping turn houses into homes with dignity, care, and lasting impact.
Digi-Bridge
Digi-Bridge sparks interest and passion in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) learning, ensuring that students have the opportunities and skills to succeed in a rapidly-changing world by fostering curiosity, creativity, exploration, persistence, and resilience.
FAMILIES FORWARD CHARLOTTE
Families Forward Charlotte helps local families take steps toward lasting financial stability. They provide support through challenges like job loss, housing, or child care, then empower families with education, life skills, and one-on-one mentoring—building a foundation for long-term success and self-sufficiency.
Wayfinders
Wayfinder’s mission is to ignite students’ potential by expanding their confidence, connections, and horizons. They achieve this through summer camp experiences, year-round enrichment programs, and mentor relationships for self-motivated, underserved students.
