SOL AND SON DUAL LANGUAGE ACADEMY is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity based in Franklin, NC. We support low-income families, vulnerable individuals, and those experiencing homelessness through compassion and practical aid.
Every person carries a light. Our vision is a community where no one is left behind — where food, shelter, and dignity are within reach for everyone.
Born from compassion, SOL AND SON began as neighbors sharing warm meals. Today, we are a community-powered charity bringing help and human connection to Franklin and beyond.
Catalina Solano, once a single mother and immigrant, saw neighbors choosing between rent and food. On a cold night, she and friends prepared hot meals for people outdoors. That act of kindness grew into a movement bringing food, warmth, and hope to hundreds.
Weekly hot meals served with care in neighborhoods facing food insecurity.
Blankets, emergency stays, and referrals toward safety and stability.
Collecting and redistributing clothing, hygiene kits, and essentials.
Counseling referrals, job support, and social service information.
Journey of Light — a month-long outreach campaign ending with a community service day supporting 1,000+ vulnerable people in Franklin and nearby areas.
Your support creates real change. Whether you give time, goods, or funds, every action helps restore dignity and hope.
