The Wisdom Foundation Community Cookout

We hope to motivate them and give them hope for a better tomorrow. We understand that it takes more than this, but there must be a start!

Wisdom Foundation Community Cookout

The Wisdom Foundation Community Cookout was started by a local family, two years ago, to serve the homeless brothers and sisters in Charlotte. Homelessness is growing in the USA at increasing rates and here in Charlotte multiplying over the years. The Wisdom Foundation Cookout is providing a nutritious hot meal for the for those that are having a hard time. Our desire is to encourage them, pray for them, while taking care of some basic needs for food and clothing.

We hope to motivate them and give them hope for a better tomorrow. We understand that it takes more than this, but there must be a start! Join us in providing love, support and solutions to those in need. At our last event we fed and provided clothing for over 150 people. We had help from nearby hotels, friends and family to achieve this. This was a great achievement however many were not served. Help us increase the provisions, so we can meet the needs, for those desiring the help to change.
