THERE IS ALWAYS A NEED

Whether it's the cold of winter or the heat of summer, our friends on the streets of Charlotte often find themselves at the mercy of the elements. It’s hard enough to have no roof over your head and no soft bed to sleep in—imagine having to be out in the elements without the seasonal clothing most of us take for granted.

Our immediate needs are warm weather clothing. Many wonderful people donate to Rice N Beans, but at times we get items that we are unable to use.

Please take a look at our list and see how you can help.

This time of year we need

hot weather casual clothes.
