Today we bid adieu to our creative & steady GW Business intern, Emma. She’s been responsible for updating the Charlie’s Place website this fall, making it easier to navigate and POP with humanity & color. She will be terribly missed. Good luck with future endeavors Emma!

Giving Tuesday
Thanks to everyone who made our first Giving Tuesday such a success. We raised over 5,000 dollars and we are so grateful! That’s enough to cover waffle mix, butter & syrup for 2 months of Charlie’s Place breakfasts.
I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow waffle trees and honey bees
And sunshine from above.
I'd like to teach the world to give
With generosity,
I'd like to join hands with my friends
In sweet community
Charlie's Place volunteers and singers Sean and Tamiko!
