Our Mission
The mission of the Matthews Help Center is to provide short-term crisis assistance to our neighbors in the greater Matthews Community.
We serve residents within a 6-zip code service area in Charlotte, Matthews, Indian Trail and Stallings, North Carolina. We provide financial and non-financial assistance for families facing eviction and utility disconnection. We also provide food, clothing and household items.
A program of the Matthews HELP Center is our Backporch Treasures Thrift Boutique, located in the back of our building. This store is filled with items donated to us by our community. From clothing to shoes, antiques, collectibles, decor and more. Revenue generated from the sale of these items supports our financial assistance programs.
