Welcome to the website of the local Charlotte, NC area chapter of
Threads of Love! We invite you to look around, and get involved in our
ministry of caring and sharing God's love. Use the links at the left to explore
our web site and learn more about our group! |
         
Our Mission
‘Threads of
Love’ is a sewing ministry that provides hand-crafted items to
newborns who, due to illness or pre-maturity, are unable to go home soon after
birth, or to families who experience infant death due to illness, stillbirth, or miscarriage. The ministry
is about healing and binding hearts together of parents at a time of uncertainty
about their baby’s health or when they lose an infant. Our mission is to show
parents the love of Christ at a time when their personal pain is hard to endure
and to let them know that God is faithful. Through acts of obedience and donation,
His work can and will continue. ‘Threads of Love’ is a national organization
with over 100 chapters in the US and Canada. Visit the national
organization website: www.threadsoflove.org.

The Charlotte Area Chapter
|
 |
The Local
Charlotte Chapter of Threads of Love was chartered in May of 2004. The chapter
was organized by a group of employees at Bank of America’s corporate
headquarters through the company's ‘Team Bank of America’ Volunteer network.
Since then, our chapter has been sponsored by the outreach
ministry of Family of Faith Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Concord, NC. However
our volunteers are not just bank employees or church members, but are a diverse
group of people from all across the Charlotte area. Our goal is to be a true
community effort, with a common focus of sharing our talents and love with those
in need. |
Want to know more or get involved?
If you would
like to become a Threads of Love volunteer, we invite you to join us! Visit
our Opportunities page to find out how you can
contribute your time and skills and/or our Contact Us page to fill out our interest form.
We are always looking for sewers and crafters who can provide their time and
talents to produce the items distributed. However, no special skills are
needed – if you can put stuffing in a sock, you can make a Lovie Doll, and
we are happy to teach beginners who want to learn to sew the packets.
We provide pre-cut packets for assembly of most items, or volunteers are welcome
to provide their own materials. Patterns and instruction are also provided.
