Carter Work Project volunteers lend a hand to the Charlotte community’s work building a thriving neighborhood at the historic site where an all-Black, segregation-era school called Plato Price stood. The once-empty lot is being transformed into an affordable, vibrant neighborhood with single-family homes, walking paths, nature areas and a community meeting space.
Over the years, we’ve witnessed families and volunteers swap smiles and stories, connect across cultures and languages and make both memories and an impact while working together to build homes and hope on a Habitat build site.
As part of the renewal, State Farm is contributing $650,000 toward youth engagement programs and $150,000 to support the global housing nonprofit’s disaster resilience program, Habitat Strong.
