  • Hosea Feed The Hungry - Hosea Feed The Hungry and Homeless examines and then raises public awareness about the many problems facing families and individuals that are living in poverty or are at-risk of slipping into poverty. Volunteers will help prepare for our annual MLK Dinner Event, by sorting clothes, packing boxes, groceries, baby products, and toiletries.
     
  • The West Atlanta Land Trust - The Atlanta Land Trust Collaborative (ALTC) incubates and supports the development and operation of permanently affordable housing initiatives by independent non-profit Community Land Trusts, along the BeltLine and throughout the City. Volunteers will be cleaning an outdoor classroom and learning garden: Removing debris, assembling benches and mixing cement.
