Five Charlotte Resources Every Family Should Know About

We hear the same sentence constantly: "I did not know that existed." So here are five real, currently operating resources in and around Charlotte.

1. Free and sliding-scale dental clinics — several operate on a first-come basis on weekday mornings.
2. After-school meal sites — no registration, no income verification, open to any child under 18.
3. Utility assistance intake — apply early in the season; funds run out well before winter ends.
4. Workforce training vouchers — CPCC and county workforce partners cover certification costs for qualifying residents.
5. Legal aid clinics — free consultations on housing, family law and expungement.
