Wear the Halo, Make a Difference
Who are we?
Together, we strive to uplift homeless children and veterans by providing essential support, restoring dignity, and nurturing hope. Through every program and initiative, we aim to build a community rooted in empathy, generosity, and the unwavering belief that even the smallest act of kindness can transform lives.
Welcome to the Hidden Halo Foundation, a nonprofit organization located in Charlotte, NC, committed to celebrating and empowering the everyday heroes who bring light to our community. At the heart of our mission are our dedicated volunteers, board members, and supporters — the hidden halos — whose quiet acts of compassion create lasting change.
Our Mission
To empower our volunteers and community champions to serve homeless children and veterans, meeting urgent needs and reminding them they are never alone.
Our Vision
A community where every child and veteran experiencing homelessness feels seen, valued, and surrounded by compassion — a place where hidden halos shine.
“I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.”
– Maya Angelou
Our Events
Our events bring our mission to life — gathering the hidden halos of our community to make a meaningful impact together. From holiday gift drives to clothing collections and laundry support efforts, each event is a chance to share kindness, restore dignity, and uplift homeless children and veterans. Explore how you can be part of these moments that change lives.
Season of Halos: Christmas Adopt a Child
Bringing personalized holiday wish lists to life for homeless children, guided by the caring hearts of our community’s hidden halos.
Each Christmas season, our dedicated volunteers and donors become hidden halos by shopping for homeless children based on personalized wish lists. These gifts aren’t just chosen — they’re thoughtfully selected with extra care, knowing how deeply they matter to students and families without a stable home. Wrapped with love and delivered with joy, these presents ensure no child wakes up on Christmas morning without a reason to smile.
Threads of Hope: Clothing Drive
Through year-round clothing drives, our hidden halos — dedicated volunteers and supporters — gather new and gently loved garments for homeless children and veterans. These thoughtful efforts do more than fill closets; they wrap individuals in comfort, and offer a renewed sense of confidence and care.
Suds of Hope: Laundry Relief for Families
No one should have to choose between clean clothes and other essentials. Through Suds of Hope, Hidden Halo supporters collect laundry supplies and donations all year long, as well as host special drives to create and distribute gift bags filled with laundry essentials. Together, we help families wash away a bit of hardship — one load at a time.
