Family Dollar Supports Uptown Shelter

Charlotte-based Family Dollar Stores has recently adopted Uptown Shelter by providing quarterly in-kind support. Several times each year, a Family Dollar truck will deliver toilet paper, sugar, laundry detergent and a host of other items Uptown Shelter needs to operate. This in-kind support has a retail value of about $40,000 per quarter and will save the shelter $20,000 from its operations budget each year. Uptown Shelter is proud to partner with Family Dollar, a corporation in tune with the needs of hard working men, women, and families. Thanks to COO Jim Kelly and the rest of the Family Dollar team!
