The Charlotte Coffee Club is a social initiative that seamlessly blends the love for coffee with community service. This group organizes meetups at local coffee shops, providing a platform for social interaction and community support. During these gatherings, members set up stations to distribute coffee, food, and clothes to people experiencing homelessness. By partnering with local coffee shops, the club not only fosters community engagement but also supports local businesses, which often donate coffee for these charitable events. The club's inaugural meetup in January saw 12 participants, while a recent June event attracted 51 attendees, indicating growing community interest and involvement. Open to all, the club encourages members to contribute by bringing donations like water, napkins, and other essentials, and by actively participating in the distribution efforts. The next meetup is scheduled for July 20 at Resident Culture Coffee, followed by a community outreach in Uptown. Co-founders Jon Livermore and Phill Reed highlight the club's mission to blend social interaction with meaningful community service. For more details, visit their Instagram page.
