Small Acts, Big Impact: It's Do Good Week 🤝 In Charlotte April 21-25

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

One Week. One City. Hundreds of Ways To Do Good In Charlotte. 🤝

Get Your Good On, Charlotte! 🫶 Do Good Week Is Almost Here!

 

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." 

- Mahatma Gandhi

 

Have you been looking for a meaningful way to give back in Charlotte? Do Good Week, happening in Charlotte April 21–25, is the perfect time to get involved, to make a difference, and to celebrate the power of volunteerism in the community. Do Good Week is the Queen City's local celebration of National Volunteer Week—thanks to the generous support of  Honeywell. National Volunteer Week is part of the Global Volunteer Month initiative.

 

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” 

- Muhammad Ali

 

Do Good Week is powered by SHARE Charlotte, a local non-profit connecting the Charlotte community to hundreds of local non-profits. SHARE Charlotte makes it easy to find ways to give back—whether that’s through volunteering, donating, or simply learning more about causes that matter to you. They believe that everyone has something to contribute and that, together, it's possible to create a stronger, more vibrant Charlotte.

 

"Volunteers don't necessarily have the time; they just have the heart." 

- Elizabeth Andrew. 

 

Volunteering During Charlotte's Do Good Week

 

SHARE Charlotte believes in the power of community and the incredible impact volunteers can have right here at home. Whether you're donating an hour of your time or committing to long-term service, every act of kindness helps build a better Charlotte. And right now, as many nonprofits face uncertainty, your support matters more than ever.

 

“Volunteering is an act of heroism on a grand scale. And it matters profoundly. It does more than help people beat the odds; it changes the odds.” 

- President William J. Clinton 

 

There are hundreds of ways to DO GOOD in Charlotte and not just during Do Good Week, but throughout the year. You can find some 586 volunteer opportunities at SHARE Charlotte. For Charlotte Volunteer Opportunities, click here. Or, you can donate to over 700 non-profits in the Charlotte area.

 

“Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.” 

- Sherry Anderson

 

SHARE Charlotte's Message: Small Acts = BIG Impact

  • Whether you volunteer for an hour or once a week, every effort counts.

  • A single act of kindness can inspire a ripple effect—encouraging friends, family, and coworkers to get involved.

  • Just one hour of your time can translate into meals, mentorship, or vital services that nonprofits may otherwise not be able to provide.

 

“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” 

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Good morning Nina. Interesting opportunity for those who chooses to volunteer to learn more about the needs of the community. Enjoy your day.

Good morning Nina. Volunteering is a terrific way to give back to the community. We have a large volunteer program in our area as well but it is never recognized as a 'DO GOOD WEEK."  I'm sure you will see many good people doing good things for others on April 21 -25. Maybe you will have an opportunity to post photos of some of the event activities.  BTW, the quotes you shared are priceless as well. Thanks for sharing.

Joe Mojica good morning, Joe. I think most of our communities would be much "poorer" without volunteers.  Delighted you liked the quotes... they really make you think.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX good morning, Dorie... SHARE Charlotte does a great job getting out the word on how important it is to volunteer. With hundreds of non-profits on their list, they are a terrific clearing house to help people focus in on their specific interests.

Paying it forward is a fine thing but why would they limit it to a week in Charlotte, Nina Hollander, Broker

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 hi Ed... SHARE Charlotte works year round on generating more volunteers for hundreds of non-profits in the Charlotte area. They do amazing work. The Do Good Week is to provide some extra attention to their work as part of National Volunteer Month.

Hello Nina - many of us a aware that practicing will not lead to perfection.  That said, doing many sorts of things better, more consistently or improving them can be beneficial in multiple ways.  To others and ourselves.  

Apr 14, 2025 05:32 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Michael Jacobs you make a great point, Michael. And even little bits of help make a difference as well. Enough people do a little bit and you have a big impact.

Hi Nina- I love the idea of Do Good Week!!! I'll bet there are many who want to help others but don't know where to begin.

Kathy Streib hi Kathy... SHARE Charlotte is an amazing clearing house of information for people who want to volunteer. Where would most of our cities be without those volunteers?

Nina doing good is something we should try to do all the time, even to those who are hard to be good to.

George Souto you're right, George. Of course, part of SHARE Charlotte's brief is to generate volunteers who do much good in the community.

Nina Hollander, Broker - Volunteers are the Angels on Earth! 

"Do good work," reminded me of the expectations Freddie Mercury's dad had for his son. 

Volunteerism is truly priceless!

Patricia Feager good morning, Patricia... I love that expression that volunteers are angels on earth. And where would our towns be without them?

Nina Hollander, Broker - Good morning! I hope you're off to a good day!

Yesterday, I talked to an old friend of mine, now a retired nurse. My dear old friend informed me that she stays busy volunteering with other supporters in a group, who are helping women coming out of a bad situation to learn how to cope. When I spouse isn't faithful or abusive, many women are left struggling to cope. They need support from others with empathy and/or compassion. As I listened, I told her volunteers are angels on earth. It was late last night when I received a text saying, "Thank you." 

Doing volunteer work for people abused can be very taxing
