Ending Homelessness in North Carolina

North Carolina is facing an epidemic of homelessness. Many communities in our state have seen increases in chronic homelessness, and most of these individuals suffer from disabilities or addiction. Worst of all, children represent nearly 25% of the homeless population in North Carolina. At present, there are nearly 5,000 children enrolled in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system who are homeless.

Ambassadors for Families in Need

As Regional Ambassadors for #AgentsofChange, the Rabon Insurance Agency is dedicated to helping eradicate homelessness and hunger in our community. We are launching an ongoing campaign to help provide nourishing meals to families facing food insecurity, to support emergency shelter initiatives that provide temporary and low-cost housing to families in financial crisis, and to providing educational assistance to children who belong to families without stable homes.

There are thousands of families who need our help, and we can’t do this without other concerned citizens like you.

Help Us Gather Support

The best way for you to help isn’t with a donation, it’s by encouraging your family members, co-workers, and friends to take advantage of our invitation and rewards program. When you invite someone to visit us here at the Rabon Insurance Agency, we will provide them with information on this campaign and offer them a complimentary insurance consultation. Then we will make a contribution IN YOUR NAME to a program or initiative in your area that provides support to families transitioning out of homelessness.

Be Part of a Permanent Solution!

We can improve outcomes for children and families throughout our community if we work together. We earnestly hope you join us and help to improve lives all across our community.

Sincerely,

Ashley Rabon
