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’re taking action right now.
