Hey FCS! Kids in our community need your help!

We can make our community a place where every kid has the ability to achieve their dreams, not just at FCS. Where every family has a safe place to call home. Where our school rallies around the future they want to see—and provides the resources to make it happen. Are you with us? 

How we help

Right now, more than 500,000 kids across Greater Atlanta don’t have the basic necessities to thrive. Things like food, housing, and educational opportunities. And for 77,000 of those kids, conditions in their communities aren’t just bad—they’re getting worse. These issues take more than quick fixes.

To change the future, we envision communities with:

Healthy Starts
Secure Homes
Educational Success
Graduation & Beyond
Financial Stability
Empowered Adults

The Impact of Your Donation

Miquael obtained housing for himself and his children

We connected Miquael with resources to help him find and keep a home, allowing him to provide a stronger foundation for his children’s future.

Lauren received financial assistance after just one call

Just one call to the United Way of Greater Atlanta hotline 211 resulted in $800 of financial assistance, and an appointment with a financial counseling agency.
