Year Seven - Easter Baskets for Love Moves Forward

Our group has put together a lot of Easter Baskets throughout the years.  This year will be out 7th and we are so happy to be able to continue this project.


Image result for easterWe will be making 60 baskets this year for the Atlanta Children's Shelter (acsatl.org). The Atlanta Children’s Shelter was established in 1986 by members of the Junior League of Atlanta in response to the growing number of homeless families with young children in the Metro Atlanta area.  Initially, ACS was established as a centrally located childcare facility where homeless parents could bring their children while they searched for employment opportunities within the community.  In 1996, the Atlanta Children's Shelter made the decision to dramatically overhaul its entire service model in an effort to become more responsive to the unique needs and barriers of homeless families.  In addition to an evolved service model, the Atlanta Children's Shelter also received a new home thank to the very generous donation of the North Avenue Presbyterian Church.


Since its inception, the Atlanta Children’s Shelter has successfully assisted in stabilizing nearly 5,000 homeless families and over 8,000 homeless children by transitioning homeless families into stable housing and sustainable employment.
