Our Services

Mobile Food Bank

At Changing Lives Outreach Center, our Curbside Mobile Food Bank is a heartfelt, innovative solution to food insecurity in underserved communities. We meet people where they are—literally—delivering fresh, nutritious groceries directly to those who face barriers like transportation challenges, disabilities, age, or geographic isolation.

More than just food distribution, this program is about dignity, care, and empowerment. Our team and volunteers provide healthy, culturally relevant options, from fresh produce to shelf-stable items, ensuring every family receives nourishment that supports wellness.

Serving Danville, VA, and Charlotte, NC, we’ve become a lifeline for hundreds of families each month. But we go beyond meals—we offer food literacy education, teaching healthy cooking, nutrition, and meal planning to bridge the gap between hunger relief and long-term food security.

With community support and relentless commitment, we’re changing lives—one meal, one delivery, one neighborhood at a time. 

youth  mentoring

We believe every young person deserves a champion. Our Youth Mentoring Program connects boys and girls ages 7-17 with caring adult mentors who provide guidance, support, and inspiration. These meaningful relationships help youth build confidence, develop character, and navigate life's challenges with resilience.

Our mentors - including professionals, community leaders, and individuals who've overcome adversity - serve as positive role models through one-on-one and group sessions. They focus on essential life skills like communication, emotional intelligence, and leadership development. Through workshops on self-esteem, conflict resolution, and personal growth, we help youth discover their potential and make positive choices.

Operating year-round with special sessions during school breaks, our program creates a safe space for youth to grow. Whether through career exposure activities or simply having a trusted adult to talk to, we're committed to empowering the next generation of leaders.​

youth education

Our Youth Education Program provides academic support and enrichment to help students ages 7-17 succeed in school and beyond. We offer personalized tutoring, homework assistance, and literacy development in a supportive learning environment that builds both skills and confidence.

Beyond core academics, we engage youth with hands-on STEAM activities, creative learning projects, and career exploration opportunities. Our program emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and the joy of lifelong learning. Certified educators and specialized tutors work with students to address learning gaps while challenging them to reach new heights.

Operating after school and during seasonal breaks, we ensure continuous learning support when school is out. From basic skill-building to advanced college prep, we tailor our approach to each student's needs. Combined with nutrition support and a safe space to learn, we're removing barriers to academic success - one student at a time.
