• Monthly Community Meetings: CharlotteEAST hosts an "East Charlotte Faith, Nonprofit, and Community leader" virtual meeting on the  the second Wednesday of each month (3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.). These conversations are agenda-driven with news and updates from the forces working for the betterment of East Charlotteans.
   

• Violence Mitigation: In May of 2024, CharlotteEAST kicked off a long-term effort to address violent crime in East Charlotte with help from more than a dozen eastside partners, including Promise Youth Development, ourBRIDGE for KIDS, Simmons YMCA, Hampshire Hills, Shannon Park, and Farm Pond neighborhood associations. As part of this work, we’ve identified five violent “hot spots” in the greater Eastland area, the most critical being the Milton Road thoroughfare, and worked with the Mecklenburg County Office of Violence Prevention to bring support to the area.​
