Pentagon Visit Today

Many thanks to Col. David Sutherland from the Office of the Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff at the Pentagon for visiting the Men's Shelter today.  Col. Sutherland was in Charlotte to promote more effective community-based strategies for helping support veterans and their families in our community.  Between media interviews, lunch with the Mayor, and public presentations, the Colonel and his staff took a tour of our Tryon Street Campus and sat down with a group of homeless veterans to listen to their needs.  Did you know that the Men's Shelter of Charlotte serves between 200-300 homeless veterans a year?
