ConSERVative Month: Soup Kitchen Youth Day

By -
November has started and that means so has ConSERVative Month! This month shifts Network of enlightened Women’s focus from women empowerment to community involvement.


The UNC Charlotte Chapter of Network of enlightened Women partnered with the Angels and Sparrows Soup Kitchen for their annual Youth Volunteering Day on Saturday, November 17th.


The Angels and Sparrows Soup Kitchen located just north of Charlotte in Huntersville, North Carolina holds the mission of starting with a nourishing meal served with dignity and fostering community to a path of hope for those facing hunger in their daily lives through programs, celebrations, and experiences - transforming daily interactions into personal connections and a sense of belonging.



Youth Day invites youth and their family to the Kitchen to help with their Fall clean-up. There, members of NeW cleaned tables, chairs, floors, windows, doors, you name it! By helping with this project, volunteers of the Kitchen are better able to complete tasks throughout the week such as serving lunch and collecting donations.


The network of enlightened Women is a non-partisan political organization that focuses on educating, enlightening and empowering young women through Conservative beliefs. The UNC Charlotte Chapter strives to get involved in the community by partnering with outside organizations - both on and off campus.
