Founded by women with a desire to help people, we began in 2008 operating in Atlanta, Ga addressing the homeless population. For 10 years we’ve maintained a fully stocked food bank used to serve the metro Atlanta area. We’ve held food drives and regularly distributed food to the large homeless community downtown. Since then, our organization and our mission has evolved to address more than the homeless in just our local communities. In short we believe that all lives matter… specifically human lives.

Since being founded, we have evolved as an organization. We have expanded our programs and the areas we serve over the years, but the mission has remained the same, “Helping people in need.” We have always done our best to help those in immediate need.

Over the years, we realized that our most common beneficiaries are typically individuals or families who are transitioning and need emergency help with either food or temporary housing or both. Many people who have public assistance sometimes have their benefits delayed and they just need enough food to sustain them for a week or two.

Sometimes, people are evicted or are already living in hotels waiting on pay day from their new job and just need help with a room stay for a night or two. These people don’t have time to fill out long applications and wait weeks for long approval processes. That’s where we come in.

We have a quick process that we bring people seeking relief through. After identifying and qualifying them, we are then able to help them get past their tough times with minimal questions allowing them to maintain their dignity.

As an organization, we have a soft spot for disabled people and families including children in need of emergency transitional assistance. It’s not possible for us to walk past these types of people on the street and not have compassion enough to help them. There for one of the main services that we offer includes providing housing placement assistance for those who need safe, stable living arrangements but don’t qualify for—or don’t require—medical housing. Our program connects seniors, disabled individuals, reentry clients, and transitioning adults with quality homes and affordable shared housing options that match their needs, income, and level of independence.

We solve one of the biggest gaps in the system: people being discharged or released with nowhere appropriate to go. Whether it’s a hospital discharge, parole transition, shelter exit, or SSI-based housing need, we help individuals and agencies quickly secure reliable housing without the delays, confusion, or dead ends that often come with traditional options.
