Welcome to the Perry brown mission center!

We are thrilled to announce the official opening of the Perry Brown Mission Center at Furniture Factory Outlet World in Waxhaw, NC. Servants With a Heart now has a permanent packing facility!

Through the generosity of the Brown family (our partners at Furniture Factory Outlet World and Samaritans International) and other friends, we now have a space where we can pack meals regularly. Last weekend, we opened the PBMC with a great group of volunteers and during the final shift packed SWH’s 20 millionth meal (see photos below and here is a link to a great video about last weekend)!

During this time of Covid-19, most of our regular packing events have been canceled, resulting in a loss of about two million meals that should have been on their way to Nicaragua. While we can currently only accommodate up to 40 people at a time (in socially-distanced family groups or others who have been exposed to one another) at the PBMC, once the virus is gone, we will be able to fit larger groups.

For now, we are packing on most Saturday mornings and will continue to send out emails and post signup information on our social media channels.

In addition, as most of you know, we have never been able to accommodate smaller groups (our minimum for packing events at other locations around Charlotte is 50,000 meals). With the PBMC, your group of 20 or more people can pack meals with us and simply pay for the food you will pack (roughly $45 per person). Please contact us if you are interested in bringing down your coworkers, team, troop, or other group!
