A national television crew has landed in the Charlotte area with plans to spotlight a local nonprofit organization early next week.

On Tuesday, Aug. 26, “Good Morning America” will air live from Charlotte with ABC News’ Will Ganss for the show’s “My Kind of Town Series,” which spotlights local heroes.

In Belmont, the “Good Morning America” crew has visited Holy Angels’ businesses on Main Street in downtown Belmont and chatted with its president and CEO, Kerri Massey. Holy Angels is a nonprofit organization that employs differently abled individuals and puts the profits from its businesses back into supporting people with disabilities.

“The only thing sweeter than the iced tea here at Cherubs Cafe is the community I’ve gotten to know in Belmont,” Ganss said in a statement emailed to CharlotteFive.

“From our very first conversation to this week’s visit, the team at Holy Angels has welcomed me with open arms, sharing their incredible story of service to the community for the last seven decades. The very best part of my job is shining a light on folks like the team at Holy Angels, the residents, and crew members who work at Cherubs,” the statement continued.

“It’s a reminder that sometimes we only need to look down the street to find people who are truly making our community, and our world, and little kinder and a little brighter. I’m grateful to be here in the Charlotte area to witness it.”
