We would like to give a huge shout out to the people of Revolution Church for donating over 12,000 loads worth of laundry detergent to us so vulnerable residents in the community can wash their clothes with dignity!
With this detergent, we will be able to build solid relationships with those in the College Park, East Point, and Atlanta area.

This past Saturday, we had a group of young men from Woodward Academy serve those who are homeless in the city of Atlanta with us. We built many wonderful relationships with our homeless friends, but more than that the young men walked away with a greater understanding of poverty and those living on the margins. One young man even said, “Those without homes in this city are stronger than people think.”

For the last six months, we’ve served families and homeless people in city and have noticed that many have a tough time washing their clothes! We are going to do something about it.
We are going to convert a room in our office into a small washroom to fill this need and give dignity to those that need a place to keep their personal items clean. Will you help? Email us to get involved.

Terence interviews Pastor Daniel Moore (Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church) about some of the problems faced on the ground in Flint, MI.
Pastor Daniel shares the urgency and severity of the water crisis, and talks about what the water meant when we dropped it off this week. He also talks about the hand sanitizer need, and why it is important.

This past week,
We’ve had many organizations and people donate tons of water to our second trip going to Flint, Michigan (from Bank of America to Plato’s Closet).
We are pulling out tomorrow morning, and will arrive tomorrow around midnight in Flint. Once we arrive, we’ll get rest and head out to serve an apartment complex along side Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church the very next morning. We are going there again because we’ve heard that many people have gotten very small amounts of water since the crisis surfaced.
Below are a few volunteers loading the truck that will depart tomorrow.
