Least Of These Carolinas, a statewide charity organization, is celebrating a decade of purpose Thursday, March 2nd, 2023. Its remarkable story started ten years ago when Susanna Kavanaugh and Michelle Buchanan embarked on a journey that would change the lives of countless children in Gaston County Community.
With a shared goal of aiding foster children, the women began a quest with a simple yet delicious idea of selling homemade cinnamon rolls at local auctions. Little did they know that this tiny seed of an idea would blossom into an organization that has since touched the lives of hundreds of foster children across the Carolinas. Today, the organization stands as a testament to the power of community, compassion, and the unwavering spirit of two women determined to make a difference.
At the heart of their organization beats a steadfast passion for assisting those in need. Guided by a deep sense of compassion and driven by a commitment to improving the lives of children, Susanna and Michelle have built an organization that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children and their caregivers, with a primary focus on those in foster or kinship care.Â
With the support of local churches, businesses, and a caring community, the charity embodies the Biblical principle of offering help to those in need and, in doing so, bringing glory to God. Through their tireless efforts, Susanna and Michelle continue to make a positive impact on the lives of countless children, exemplifying the power of love, hope, and selflessness in action.
The mission of Least Of These Carolinas is to ignite hope and bring healing to the lives of foster children. They are more than just a provider of essential items such as toys, furniture, clothing, and toiletries. At their core, they bring families and hope into the lives of children who may otherwise feel lost and alone. This organization’s story is a testament to the power of passion over perfection. Through the ups and downs, the triumphs and setbacks, Susanna and Michelle have remained steadfast in their commitment to helping children in need.
GasHouse Media will be telling the story of Least Of These Carolinas and its decade of purpose at the Annual Celebration on Thursday, March 2nd, 2023. With the organization’s continued dedication, it is clear that it will continue to make a difference for foster children in North Carolina and inspire hope and healing for generations to come. The Annual Celebration is an opportunity to celebrate the successes of the past and look forward to the future with hope and excitement.
