Antonia “Neet” Childs doesn’t have her own brick-and-mortar location, but if you wander into Second Helping Charlotte on Central Avenue, you will find a case filled with classic sweets such as coconut cream pie, peanut butter pie, and red velvet cake. These are Neet’s Sweets, and they are some of the most comforting confections in the city. More than that, though, Childs uses some of the proceeds from her business to help survivors of human trafficking, of which she herself was a victim.
