JOIN LEGENDARY SINGER, SONGWRITER, BROADWAY STAR AND ACTIVIST, STEPHANIE MILLS AS WE HELP FAMILIES IN THE CHARLOTTE AREA HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON WITH LOVE
The theme for 2025 is 50/50/50: A Celebration of Love and Legacy! The 444LOVE Foundation is proud to honor the 50th Anniversary of THE WIZ on Broadway. This is the iconic production that introduced the world to our Founder and CEO, Stephanie Mills, as “Dorothy”. At the age of 17 her memorable performance is embedded in the hearts of fans around the world 50 years later.
The realization that, amid events happening around the world, food security is in peril, government provisions are in question, and the smiles on children’s faces are in jeopardy. But we can assist local families in the Charlotte community. We have a goal over the holiday season to share our legacy and show love to a minimum of 50 families. We want to give them a holiday season that they will forever remember.
Our first event will be held November 24th and we will pass out 50 Turkeys for Thanksgiving, followed by sponsoring 50 families for Christmas with meals and gifts. Finally 50 families affected by Down Syndrome will receive needed support from The 444LOVE Foundation.
Commissioner Yvette Townsend-Ingram will host the Turkey give-a-way on Monday, November 24th. Our commissioner has dedicated her career in public service to helping those in need. She currently serves as the Democratic chair of precinct 89; is a member of the NC SEC (State Executive Committee); and served a term on the Mecklenburg County CRC (Community Relations Committee), appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. She is excited to unite with The 444LOVE Foundation and stated, “It’s an honor to join Ms. mills and 444LOVE in this meaningful celebration. Together, we’re feeding families, uplifting spirits, and reminding our community that love is the greates gift of all.”
JOIN US AS WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE THIS SEASON FOR THOSE IN NEED.

Our thoughts & feelings are more powerful than anything we could ever imagine. Once we focus on the true desires of our hearts with love, they become a part of our reality.
