We are excited to present our 2020 Annual Report: Rebuilding and Restoring Hope. In it, you will read stories of the men, women, and children who have a safe home at Atlanta Mission. You will also read about the amazing ways hope has prevailed despite job loss, evictions, and the COVID-19 pandemic. In the last year, we have served 5,731 men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. That is over 5,700 people who have been treated with dignity, called by their name, and offered the opportunity for a new life.
The support of our community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been incredible. When there were no masks or thermometers to be found, you all drove miles to find some. You delivered hundreds of pounds of food to our shelters, so our clients had enough to eat. You opened the trunks of your cars and collected clothing and sanitation items we needed from your neighbors. You sent hundreds of workbooks and other school supplies to our children who are now learning remotely. We couldn’t have made it through without you.
Because of you and God’s grace, we have been able to raise over $12,417,000 in operating costs this year. We exceeded our financial goals in the midst of a pandemic and in the midst of fundraising for Restoration House, our new low-barrier shelter for women and their children in West Midtown. Thank you for your partnership and your generosity.
