Charities in Charlotte have been hit hard by the poor economy.  Large increases in the need for their services come at a time when securing funding is very difficult.  To help publicize the situation charities find themselves in, and to identify ways to help solve the problem, eight media outlets in Charlotte have teamed up to create Charlotte:  Mission Possible.  The project is being organized by Steve Gunn, the Editor for Innovations at the Charlotte Observer.  WFAE's Scott Graf spoke to Steve and asked him to explain what the goal of the project is.

WFAE is one of eight media outlets participating in Charlotte: Mission Possible.
