“Thank you so much for your leadership at the recent Care Day. What a huge event! I cannot believe how much your teams were able to accomplish! You have dramatically improved the quality of life for residents in our shelter, and we are forever grateful,” said Jessica Butler, Gateway Domestic Violence Center Executive Director, following the June 2 Care Day at Gateway Domestic Violence Center.

"I am truly grateful for our partnership with HomeAid Atlanta that provided us with the opportunity to connect with Gwinnett Housing Corporation and the Norcross Downtown Development Authority to work on this unique project. It's nothing short of remarkable to know that this completed facility will provide Gwinnett residents with the opportunity to obtain the coveted dream of home ownership,” said Tom Bowers, Vice President of Operations for Lennar Atlanta, at the June 5 groundbreaking celebrating the Homeowner Resource Center.

Folowing the 22nd Annual Essentials Drive in May, Auvronette Guilbeaux, Phoenix Pass Executive Director said, “The Essentials Drive provides baby products that would otherwise be a hardship between paydays for our moms. One mom said that she felt like a burden had been lifted because she did not have to choose between diapers and other baby products for her daughters. Another mom felt like it was truly a Mother’s Day gift, because without having to buy diapers, she had a little more money in her account to save.”

“The fact that you are here shows these ladies that the community cares about them. Making this place warm and welcoming helps them heal, find their worth, and choose a path forward for themselves and their children,” said Barbara Gibson, Women’s Resource Center Housing Services Director, at the June 16 Care Day at the Women's Resource Center.
