Three Ships’ Post

Three Ships Community Impact hosted a panel discussion from our Charlotte office yesterday focused on nonprofit leadership. We were so pleased to welcome Melissa Hovey, Managing Director at SHARE Charlotte, Patricia Massey Hoke, Executive Director of the Women's Impact Fund, and Dr. Sharon Torrence Jones, Founder of the Dottie Rose Foundation, as well as our CEO of Stacksphere, Aarti Sura, in a discussion led by department President, Molly O'Connor. Thank you so much to these amazing leaders for joining us and sharing their wisdom on service-based leadership! We encourage our network to explore their incredible organizations.

On Friday, May 17th, Three Ships Community Impact hosted a foster family appreciation night in partnership with the Methodist Home for Children at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. Our goal was to celebrate the amazing foster families at MHC and inspire new families to open their doors to these deserving children. More than 100 current and prospective family members registered for our appreciation night. We were excited to celebrate 20 current foster families (a group of nearly 70, with 40 children in attendance), and engage with 11 new prospective families. Kids and adults alike enjoyed a private museum experience where they could explore and have fun -- and meet a few live animals for the brave attendees (including a milk snake, a tarantula, and a mini-hedgehog). We thank Tatenda Perry, Jeannie Norris, Pam E. Powell, Tomika Brooks, and the MHC leadership and staff in partnering to make such a successful event! 

Three Ships is thrilled to support the Methodist Home for Children this spring! We are sponsoring a celebration of their amazing foster families at the NC Museum of Natural History on May 17th. We encourage anyone in our network who is curious about becoming or supporting NC foster families to learn more about this incredible organization. Join us at this family-friendly night of fun by registering at bit.ly/MHC-RSVP

Great event put on by our Go To Market team on our Home Solutions business!

Three Ships is thrilled to support Methodist Home for Children this holiday season! Molly O'Connor, President of 3S Community Impact, led a cross-portfolio effort to express our gratitude to MHFC's incredible foster families. Our companies banded together in Charlotte, Raleigh, and remote to assemble holiday gift bags and hand-write thank you notes to support the nearly seventy foster families who partnered with MHFC this year. We encourage everyone in our network to check out MHFC and spread awareness that there is a crisis in the NC foster care system. More than 10,000 children are currently in foster care in North Carolina, and less than 5,500 licensed foster homes are available to support these children. Since 2020, there's been a 20% decline in foster homes capacity. Thousands of local children are in need of safe temporary housing and support. We feel honored to partner with MHFC to increase its foster home capacity in 2024! We look forward to sharing more about 3S Community Impact and our mission of giving back to our community in the upcoming months. Until then, happy holidays to you and your families! 

Grateful for a wonderful team and memorable moments at our pre-Thanksgiving celebration! Even though the feast is over, the spirit of gratitude lingers on. Cheers to a season filled with appreciation, teamwork, and endless reasons to be thankful. 🦃 🍂 ✨
