R&B Versus Love Foundation and Dream CLT Present The Back to School Drive.
Leading With Love, Community and Opportunity
As summer begins to wind down and families prepare for another school year, the R&B Versus Love Foundation and Dream CLT are coming together to make sure local children and families have the resources they need to start the school year with confidence.
On Monday, August 17, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the organizations will host The Back to School Drive, a community-centered event offering free food and school supplies to families in need.
The event will take place at Dream CLT , located at 320 W. Carson Blvd. in Charlotte, North Carolina, bringing together community members, businesses, sponsors and supporters for an afternoon focused on giving back.
More Than a Back-to-School Event
The Back to School Drive is about more than pencils, notebooks and backpacks. It is about creating an opportunity for the community to come together, support one another and remind local families that they are not alone.
The R&B Versus Love Foundation is a nonprofit organization centered around community. Through critical services, music, fellowship and outreach, the foundation works to provide meaningful support while spreading a message of love and unity.
The organization believes that music can bring people together, but its mission extends beyond entertainment. It is about using relationships, resources and community partnerships to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
The Back to School Drive is a reflection of that mission.
A Community Effort
Events like this are possible because of businesses, organizations and individuals who believe in giving back. The R&B Versus Love Foundation is grateful to receive sponsorship support from a growing list of community partners, including:
- Medusa Lounge
- The Red Room
- BizSpark Studios
- Zodiac Bar & Grill
- Obia DJ School
- Crown & Tide Seafood
- Suya King Premium Grill
- And many more sponsors to be announced
Their support demonstrates what can happen when local businesses and community organizations come together around a common purpose.
Every donation, sponsorship and act of volunteerism has the potential to make a difference for a child heading into a new school year.
Helping Families Start the School Year Strong
For many families, preparing for a new school year can bring additional financial pressure. The cost of school supplies, food and other necessities can quickly add up.
The Back to School Drive is designed to help ease some of that burden by providing families with access to free school supplies and food in a welcoming community environment.
But the impact goes beyond what families take home.
It is also about the feeling of knowing that the community cares.
It is about children beginning the school year knowing that people are invested in their future. It is about neighbors helping neighbors and businesses using their resources to create positive change.
An Invitation to the Community
The R&B Versus Love Foundation invites families, community members, businesses and supporters to be part of this special afternoon.
Whether through attending, donating, sponsoring or simply sharing information about the event, everyone has an opportunity to contribute.

The foundation continues to welcome additional sponsors and community partners who want to help expand the reach and impact of the event.
Leading With Love
At the heart of the Back to School Drive is a simple message:
Always remember to lead with love, and everything will be okay.
That message represents the spirit behind the R&B Versus Love Foundation — believing in people, believing in community and believing that positive change begins when people choose to care for one another.
This August, Charlotte has an opportunity to come together, give back and help local families prepare for a successful school year.
Join R&B Versus Love Foundation and Dream CLT on Monday, August 17, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM for The Back to School Drive.
Free food. Free school supplies. Community. Fellowship. Love.
Because when a community comes together, everyone has the opportunity to move forward.
