Last week the 2009-2010 class of Front Porch grantees gathered at the Levine Museum of the New South to celebrate another successful year of building social capital in the community. Through 30 different projects and organizations, individuals of different generations, cultures, ethnicities, and sexual orientations come together to learn to understand and trust each other, overcome their differences and build bridges. From neighborhood block parties to potluck dinners to community garden workdays, the recipients of Front Porch grants bring the community together and make a big impact with just a little money.

We thank and celebrate the recipients of 2009-2010 Front Porch grants for working to make our community a stronger and better place: Centralina Council of Governments, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Steele Creek Youth Network (SCYN), The Charlotte Symphony, Christ Lutheran Church - McClintock Partners in Education, Civic By Design Forum, Exodus Foundation, Father's Against Violence and Repeat-Offenders (FAVAR Ministries), Florence Crittenton Services, Hands on Charlotte, Helping Empower Local People (H.E.L.P.), International House, Kids Voting Mecklenburg Co., Latin American Women's Association (LAWA), MeckED (Mecklenburg Citizens for Public Education), Mental Health Association of Central Carolinas, Mint Museum of Art, Neighbors For A Safer Charlotte, North Carolina Dance Theatre, North Carolina Outward Bound School, Presbyterian Hemby Children's Hospital, Queens University of Charlotte, Refugee Support Services of the Carolina, Secret Angels Project, Shamrock Gardens PTA, Sports Outreach Institute, St. Peter's Homes McCreesh Place, Statesville Road Elementary School, Villa Heights Community Organization, Wesley Heights Community Association, WTVI
