Are there any solutions out there to expand the number of ports on my MacBook?

I want to be able to not only charge my MacBook, but also connect a USB-A dongle so I can connect a Qi wireless phone charger, or a lightning cable to charge my phone

That particular one will NOT work for this situation. OP has just a single USB-C output.

Sorry I am late, op, but I use a Satechi on my MacBook. This gives you another usb-c port for charging and usb 3.0 ports.

Type-C Pass-Through USB Hub

Satechi Type-C Pass-Through USB Hub offers everything you loved from our Type-C USB hub, with an added USB-C charging port to keep your MacBook powered.

I use a NOVOO USB-C Hub and I have had a good experience with it so far. The brand is a good value and there are different sizes to choose from to meet your needs for what you are looking for. Just another idea to add to the ones already listed above.

I use a pretty nice Anker on my 2020 Air. Has USB C/A/SD and HDMI. Very handy
