Buy A Biscuit For A Soldier Program

Helping Others

Each December, thousands of soldiers  travel through Charlotte Douglas International Airport heading home for the holidays. 

The Charlotte Chorale is proud to donate sausage biscuits to the USO to feed the soldiers through our Buy A Biscuit Program.  Over the years we have donated over 40,000 sausage biscuits.   

The Charlotte Chorale is proud to share their music with the community and to use its performances to  and benefit local organizations. 

Over the years local organizations have received donations from Charlotte Chorale that we've collected which included toys, books, blankets, breakfast items and socks.  They include Bright Blessings, The Men's Shelter of Charlotte, Crop Walk, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, KinderMourn, Musical Heirs, American Red Cross, USO of North Carolina, Hospitality House of Charlotte and Big Brothers/Big Sisters  of Charlotte.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in our community.

We have been asked many times about what makes us different than other choirs in the area.  The answer is Diversity, (in singers and repertoire) and that we use our music to help other people.  To accomplish this we sometimes have to take the music to the people.  We have traveled all over the Carolinas and here are just a few stops along the way:

 Biltmore Estate                                                        Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens                                 VFW National Convention
 Southern Christmas Show                                         Cabarrus Country Fair                                                Charlotte Douglas International Airport  
Matthews Alive                                                         Christmas at Billy Graham Library                               Taste of Charlotte
Levine Children’s Hospital                                        ChristmasVille                                                             WBT Holiday On Ice
                                                                          
           
We’ve presented our shows at different venues, sung the National Anthem for the USO, Carowinds Opening Day, Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Checkers. 
 
There have been many musical moments during a concert that makes a singer tingle, and one special moment was honoring veterans from WWII through the Iraq War during “Song for the Unsung Hero” at the “Sing Noel” concert.

 Each time we give a performance, we think that we are the ones changing lives.  But then you get a smile from a hospitalized child or a soldier about to deploy  or an audience member and you realize, they are changing our lives.
