March 1, 2018, SOCM opened up a brick and mortar one-stop resource center in East Charlotte. With the support of a consistent 30+ paying monthly business supporters, dozens of accumulated services from those businesses, and several dozen small grants awarded to its collaborative, SOCM began supporting and engaging with several youth programs. This interaction gave KEFA the experience it needed to build its own program.

Today The Save Our Children Movement is located at 2201 Caronia Street and office donated to use by Grace Mar Services Inc, through Inlvian (formerly The Charlotte Housing Authority). This past summer, SOCM served over 40 youth through its summer camp, which helped students in the West Coordinator with schoolwork, leadership and arts. Most important the camp provided a safe place for youth and children ages 10-17. Some of the partners that contributed to the camp included, Mecklenburg Sheriff’s department, the local YMCA, and Inlivian. Students also received two meals per day and were given workshops and visits from Commissioner Mark Jerrell, Sheriff McFadden, and Corine Mack. After the success of the summer camp, SOCM leadership was asked to continue the summer camp by starting a Afterschool program in partnership with West Charlotte Public Library. Currently, the Afterschool program operates three days per week and going to five days in June. Multiple locations and growing.
