Charlotte Rescue Mission hosts a ‘Talk & Tour’ twice a month. This event gives our donors a chance to take a tour of our facilities, meet the staff and learn about volunteer opportunities.  They last about an hour and begin promptly at 12 or 5pm.

Talk & Tour also provides our guests the opportunity to meet a former client and to hear a testimonial on how the Charlotte Rescue Mission has turned his/her life around.  This also doubles as our “volunteer orientation” which is required for anyone who wants to volunteer at the mission.

Talk & Tour is a great way for donors to see how their money is being used at the mission and will give those interested in volunteering a chance to learn about volunteer opportunities.

If you are interested in visiting the mission please call Andria Tindall at 704-334-4635 x214 or you may email her at andria.tinadall@charlotterescuemission.org.

About Me

Charlotte Rescue Mission (CRM) provides residential programs for homeless, jobless men and women with alcohol and drug addiction issues. Our clients typically have few options available to them because they have no health coverage to help them enter a recovery program to realize a new life of sobriety. The professional recovery programs and additional services Charlotte Rescue Mission offers to support these individuals are provided to them at no cost.
