Camino

Our mission continues! The Camino team is returning for the third time to the areas affected by Hurricane Helene, this time in Swannanoa, Asheville. We will provide medical services, pastoral counseling, and community assessments, as well as winter clothing and other essential items. The community is still facing hardships, and your help is crucial to continue providing hope and relief. If you would like to help, we are collecting clothing, winter blankets, and other essentials, which we will be receiving at: 📍 201 Stetson Dr., Charlotte, NC 28262 🕒 Delivery hours: Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 💳 You can also make a monetary donation through this link: https://lnkd.in/gW7dfC32 Thank you for joining us in this noble cause.

We continue advancing our mission to provide dental services to our entire community through our mobile clinic! 🚐🦷 This time, we collaborated with our partner Compare Foods to bring essential dental care to those who need it most. We are proud to witness the positive impact we're making and how, step by step, more people are gaining access to the care they deserve.

Last week, in celebration of Camino Spirit Week, we had the opportunity to hold customer service training sessions with our staff. We kicked off on Monday with a guest speaker from a company renowned for its exceptional customer service—Chick-fil-A. A big thank you to Jake and the entire Chick-fil-A Restaurants team for taking the time to share their insights on the importance of customer service. We’re excited to put these principles into action. Chick-Fil-A, it was truly our pleasure to host you! And a big thank you to all our Chick-Fil-A partners throughout the state. We are thankful to work with you. 🐮❤️🙌🏼

This past weekend, we went back to Asheville, North Carolina for the second time with our disaster relief team. We are committed to providing support to affected families, who are still dealing with the aftermath of the storm that left many without access to clean water and devastated entire towns in the mountainous areas. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported these relief efforts. With your help, we were able to provide clothing, medical evaluations, food, hygiene products, and most of all, hope. This would not be possible without you.

Last week was incredibly productive for the Camino team! Through various sessions, including customer service and values training, we equipped our staff with new tools to help fulfill our mission. It was a fun week, and we loved seeing everyone so happy to be part of this team. We are deeply grateful to all our staff—none of this would be possible without them! Here’s to bringing this energy and fun to work each day as we close out the year. 😄 🙌

At Northeastern University, we had the honor of hosting 100 attendees to discuss access to capital for entrepreneurs and business owners. During the event, we highlighted strengths and the importance of education. Experts participated, sharing valuable insights on developing personal brands and building support networks. 👏

In 2024, one of our goals was to embed ourselves in two local communities by ensuring residents have access to our essential services. Throughout our time working with these communities, we have brought a range of our services directly to them. This past weekend was no different, as we deployed our mobile unit to provide no-cost dental screenings to residents at one of the neighborhoods- Charlotte Hills. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue serving and supporting our community and equip them to live healthy, hopeful, and productive lives.

Our Camino team is heading back to some of the areas affected by Hurricane Helene. On Friday, October 25, and Saturday, October 26, we will travel to Asheville to provide healthcare services with our mobile unit.

We are collecting clothing, winter blankets, and essential items to assist families in need. 📍 Drop-off location: 208 Stetson Dr., Charlotte, NC 28262 🕒 Drop-off hours: Monday to Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM 💳 You can also make a monetary donation through this link:  https://lnkd.in/gW7dfC32 Together, we can support our community and make a positive impact.

We participated in the Cabarrus County Schools (CCS) and Kannapolis City Schools Experiential Fair, where we had the opportunity to share information about the services we provide to students and their families in these communities. We greatly value our partnership with CCS in providing mental health services within the schools. Approximately 100 members of the Support Personnel team—including counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, and resource officers—attended the event. We remain committed to working together to enhance the well-being of our students, and we are thankful to work with other organization who believe the same. 👏

We are incredibly grateful to the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners for their continued support with critical contract and ARPA funding. Our CEO & Founder, Rusty Price, had the opportunity to personally thank the board this week for their role in providing essential resources to those we serve—Primary Care, Behavioral Health, and Dental Services. These funds are making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve, and we couldn’t be more thankful as we continue to expand holistic care in our community.
