21id  First Inc. is a youth-led 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 2018 by two middle-schoolers Prabuddha and Elaine, Aid First has multiplied in size and has a robust committee of Officers who have worked relentlessly over the years to further the mission of the organization. Our mission is to provide first-aid kits and health supplies to homeless shelters, small businesses and low-income clinics. This is based on a broader vision to Increase Upward Mobility in and around Charlotte by addressing health and hygiene issues. We have organized several events where we have donated to homeless shelters and needy individuals and have accelerated our efforts during covid to focus on masks, sanitizers, sanitizing wipes and accessories to protect against the virus. Till date we have donated items worth $2100 , impacting 550+ individuals. Please visit Our Impact for a complete up to date list of events where we have contributed.

The above activities would not have been possible without your kind donations and the efforts of our team. We would like to take a moment to introduce the Aid First Team:
