Box springs and mattresses, door locks for battered women, psychiatric counseling, transportation fare, orthopedic shoes, camp and daycare fees, air conditioners, medical expenses, utility payments, car repairs – these are only a few of the many ways Good Friends reaches out to help those less fortunate and in desperate situations living in our community.

It all begins with a single luncheon each December when Good Friends holds a festive, holiday luncheon for members and their guests.  The annual tax deductible membership is very modest and includes lunch for the member and an unlimited number of guests.

During the luncheon, true stories of how just a few dollars can make such a large difference to people in need are shared.  The time commitment is a single lunch hour, but the impact provided by member and guest donations can last a lifetime.

It is the policy of Good Friends to present a program at our annual luncheon that is of interest to all its members and guests – with a central theme of love, joy and sharing.  Although our event is scheduled in December with a Christmas theme, it is considered to be a non-denominational event of interest and comfort to women of all religions.

Since our inception, we have given 100% of all contributions (over $2 million) received back to the Charlotte community.  We hope you will help us continue this tradition by joining us and making a difference for those who are less fortunate.
