What Lifts Us
FUNDRAISING DEADLINE: JUNE 1, 2022
We are excited to announce our next plan for AOK-CH involves - soaring.
We are sponsoring a mural on the wall of the Lumina on Market Street in Southern Village in Chapel Hill, NC. We are thrilled the mural will be painted by our friend, neighbor and extremely talented muralist, Loren Pease. Check out sweetpeaseart on instagram.
These beautiful, colorful wings will be a place all ages can be uplifted by having a keepsake picture of themselves flanked by wings. The mural will include the message, “what lifts you.”
Please help us spread kindness by being a part of this mural that will be enjoyed by countless people for years to come. The Market Street Association has graciously agreed to cover 25% of the cost of the mural. We need to raise $3375 for wall preparation + mural costs and would greatly appreciate any donation. If you donate $100 or more, you will receive your choice of an AOK hat or t-shirt.
Let’s bring wings to Market Street in the Summer of 2022!

A Lotta Love + PORCH
A Lotta Love is changing homeless lives one room at a time. The A Lotta Love team works to alleviate the trauma of homelessness by creating dignified, safe, and emotionally-inspired spaces within homeless shelters and crisis centers.
Last summer, we raised funds to sponsor and complete a make-over of two bedrooms and a bathroom at Families Moving Forward shelter in Durham. This is the family we welcomed home to their new space. Helping create this transformation and seeing the smiles on this family’s face was one of the most heart-warming experiences of our lives.
PORCH is a small, grassroots hunger relief organization that makes a big impact! Every month, Neighborhood Coordinators collect food and cash donations, and then volunteers sort and distribute bags of fresh and non-perishable food to local families, pantries, and schools.
The problem of hunger is real! About 12 percent of Orange County residents face food insecurity. One-fourth of Orange County children live in poor or low-income households. Sadly, with rising costs, more and more families are struggling to ensure there is food on the table each day. In 2021, PORCH provided 350,000+ pounds of fresh food directly to 500+ families and 8,668 bags of non-perishable food to pantries and families in Chapel Hill-Carrboro.
PORCH has been an important part of our family for years. Since 2015 we have been co-Neighborhood Coordinators for Southern Village with the Beisser Family.
Make a donation.
What you do every day matters. Spread some joy with a donation to acts of kindness - chapel hill and know that your act of kindness is being multiplied into many. Together we can change the world, starting in our own little corner.
