Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn has launched The Jeremy Chinn Foundation to support families and individuals impacted by homelessness in the Greater Charlotte Community. The foundation works in partnership with local agencies and nonprofits to give families struggling to support themselves with access to items they need but cannot afford, like beds, winter coats, school supplies, cleaning products and more.

On May 9, Jeremy will host "Heart for the Homeless," a special reception with him and some of his Panthers teammates at Steak 48 in Charlotte. The event will raise funds to provide matresses and cleaning supplies to Charlotte families overcoming homlessness and seeking to live independently.
