We are Under Construction!

When we started our capital campaign, A Move that Matters, just a few short months ago, we were certainly hopeful that we would meet our goal.

What we could not have anticipated was the heart-filled actions and reactions to the news that caused us to meet our $600,000 goal so quickly! The generosity of many individuals and corporate partners still overwhelms us. The Movement Center's construction at 2225 Freedom Drive, where The Harvest Center of Charlotte will be located, is well under way and we're planning to move to the new space soon. We are grateful to each of you who gave to this effort! The fruit of your giving can now be seen as the ground work is laid.

Transformation Program Fun: Panther's Fan Fest Experience

Earlier this month, the Carolina Panthers’ hosted Fan Fest 2015 at the Bank of America Stadium, and The Harvest Center of Charlotte was a unique part of the crowd that totaled over 55,000 fans!

Several Transformation Program Participants and two of The Harvest Center of Charlotte’s staff had a great time at the event with VIP treatment. Gifted with official passes, access was granted to the field where the players and coaches were practicing. While there, the group had the pleasure of meeting Panther executives, players, and the team mascot: General Manager Dave Gettleman, Team President Danny Morrison (pictured right), Running Back Jonathan Stewart, and team mascot Sir Purr (pictured right).

After practice, the group was able to get autographs and take pictures with some of the players, also, as they circled the field connecting with the fans. They enjoyed the sights and sounds from the field, and were thanking God for favor.
