“ For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:10 Dear Friends, This year, we celebrate 75 years of serving those facing homelessness. We believe God has created all of us in His image, and that He has given us great things to achieve. In 1938, a small group of believers understood this truth, and in the throes of the Great Depression opened the doors of a shelter and soup kitchen for Atlanta’s homeless men on Crew Street. Today, their work has grown to serve almost 1,000 men, women and children across multiple campuses and programs each day. As we celebrate our 75th year as Atlanta’s oldest and largest provider of homeless services, it is our privilege to share with you the work God has done through Atlanta Mission this past year. In fiscal year 2013, Atlanta Mission served 4,310 individual men, women and children. Each one of those individuals made the courageous decision to choose hope by seeking help. Life-changing help was found for the 412 individuals who completed Atlanta Mission programs, and in the 487 men and women who found jobs. Transformative Hope came alive in the 440 hearts who committed their lives to Jesus Christ, and in the 738 men and women who found a definitive end to their homelessness. Atlanta Mission is blessed to witness these life changes; however, we are but a small part of a city full of generous hearts who are responsible for the work that is being done. This year alone, we had over 3,700 pairs of hands serve in our kitchens, classrooms,
childcare rooms, gardens, thrift stores and offices. More than 35,000 generous donors trusted the Lord with their treasures by giving financially to Atlanta Mission. Countless numbers of supporters advocated for us in the community and prayed for those in our care. The work of Atlanta Mission is not the work of a single organization, but the work of a community dedicated to working together to serve those in need. We are grateful for each and every life that we are privileged to impact, and are committed to continuing the journey that began three quarters of a century ago. This year, we enhanced and realigned our programs and launched an organizational vision that will enhance the services we offer. It is after years of intentional and prayer-filled work that we share with you our vision for the future. We believe that God has entrusted us not only with a legacy, but with a continuing mission to reach all of those facing homelessness in our city. Our desire is to help them realize that they, too, are God’s handiwork, and that He has unique plans and purposes for their lives. We offer humble and gracious thanks for all of your support this year. Atlanta Mission could not do this work without you. We invite you to celebrate a rich history of ending homelessness in Atlanta and encourage you to come alongside us for the next 75 years. This is our city, and this is our mission. Together, we can end homelessness.
Blessings,

Atlanta Mission exists to do one thing: to transform, through Christ, the lives of those facing homelessness.
WHO WE ARE
We have seen countless lives changed over the past 75 years, but great work still lies ahead. Each day we seek to create an organization that can better meet the needs of those who come through our doors. Over the past two years, we have worked as an organization to establish the key
In 1938, the United States was deep into a decade of financial depression. Atlanta, a largely agricultural state, was wounded by falling cotton prices and an economy unable to support it. The city saw an influx of poor and homeless people. With an unemployment rate over 50 percent, a great need was presented to Atlanta. A group of churches, including Central Presbyterian Church and other congregations in the city joined together to open the Atlanta Union Mission, a shelter and soup kitchen, for men on Crew Street. It was the first organization of its kind in the city of Atlanta.
components of a successful future for the Atlanta Mission. Out of this our Vision Elements were born, and we are excited to share with you what we believe are the integral practices of our organization.

In 1969, the Atlanta Mission opened the first shelter in the United States to specifically serve the needs of homeless women. Originally located on Ponce de Leon Ave, the “Women’s Division” was opened by Elsie Moses Huck Detweiler. In a 1984 interview with Atlanta INtown, she spoke of the need for women’s services in Atlanta and throughout the country. “The public has no idea how great the need is. With men, the situation is different. Most cities with a population over 100,000 have a rescue mission for men and they know they can find a place to stay anytime, while women have fewer such facilities and more fear of rejection.”

we are dedicated to offering programs that offer both. We believe that a relationship with Jesus Christ is critical to true life transformation and that it is our duty to provide both with excellence.
Under the Admissions function are all of Atlanta Mission’s Shelter programs. This is the first step for many who come to Atlanta Mission, and Admissions handles intake and assessment of those who come to the mission seeking help, as well as day services and food service for each campus.
The Personal Development Program (PDP) is Atlanta Mission’s most extensive recovery program and is a long-term residential program that aids guests in recovery from life-controlling issues such as substance abuse, trauma, physical/ emotional abuse and mental illness.
A goal of the Atlanta Mission is to equip those we serve with the tools necessary to function independently in society. Our re-entry services help them achieve this through transitional housing, family re-unification, job placement and involvement in a local church.
At any one time, the children’s programs at My Sister’s House serve an average of 50 children. The instability of homelessness, along with trauma and abuse, can present learning and behavioral difficulties. Atlanta Mission’s staff of childcare workers, behavioral specialists, counselors and tutors helps our children and their mothers achieve healthy lifestyles.

DAY SHELTER
This year, our vision expanded and took shape with the acquisition of the Atlanta Day Shelter.
One of the most integral pieces of Atlanta Mission’s vision is to serve all of those facing homelessness in our city. This year, that vision expanded and took shape with the acquisition of the Atlanta Day Shelter. Started in 1984, the Atlanta Day Shelter opened its doors to provide a much-needed daytime refuge to women and children facing homelessness. In addition to meeting critical needs of clothing, food, hygiene and medical care, the employment resources and childcare help women take important steps out of homelessness. At Atlanta Mission, we have found that a continuum of care, including day services such as meals, childcare, job services, medical care and access to showers and

restrooms is imperative to successful shelter programs. Atlanta Mission’s My Sister’s House and the Atlanta Day Shelter are not only close geographically, we also serve many of the same women and children throughout any given day. By providing services together, we will play to the current strengths of each organization as well as build upon these to provide additional resources. By bringing the Atlanta Day Shelter into the broad range of programs offered by the Atlanta Mission, we are strengthening and expanding the services we offer to those facing homelessness and creating greater opportunities for life transformation.

I was lost and in need. Now I have a second chance. “ Since coming to the Atlanta Mission for help, God has given me a new heart. My life is not a failure. I am not a victim. I’ve made some bad choices that hurt those I love, but God is healing everyone.” The son of two missionaries, Edmund always knew of God, but it wasn’t until he found himself seeking help at the Atlanta Mission that he began to know God. He had built an amazing career for himself working for a major airline, but lost it all
to alcohol and drug addiction. While at Atlanta Mission, he learned how to trust in God and build his life on the right things. He is now employed as a maintenance manager with Delta Airlines and is rebuilding his marriage and his family.

“ Me and God have had some very long conversations. He saved my life. I should not be here right now. Throughout my life He has been there.

He has a plan for me or He wouldn’t have me here…I don’t know the Bible real good, and have a hard time pronouncing some of the words. But I know He’s there.” In 1997, alcoholism caused Joseph to turn his back on his career, his relationships and his responsibilities. He took up residence under a bridge on the east side of Atlanta,

PARTNERSHIPS
Providing exceptional services to those facing homelessness in our community is something the Atlanta Mission cannot do alone. As part of our renewed vision, Atlanta Mission is seeking to broadly and strategically partner with others to accomplish our mission. Our partners make a significant impact on the lives of those we serve by offering spiritual, vocational and clinical services to meet the physical and emotional needs of Atlanta Mission residents. Here are just a few partners that have served Atlanta Mission in unique and inspiring ways this past year.

Buckhead Church has offered a new brand of spiritual services to the men at Atlanta Mission. Each Wednesday night, a guest speaker from the church’s pastoral staff comes to lead chapel with men in our programs. In addition, their annual BeRich campaign sends over 700 volunteers to Atlanta Mission throughout the holiday season.
BA P T I S M S
The Atlanta Mission was started by leaders in local Atlanta churches 75 years ago, and that tradition continues as the city’s congregations continue to support Atlanta Mission through donations, service and discipleship. One special way churches partnered with us in the last fiscal year was through baptism. Buckhead Church, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church and Hebron Baptist Church baptized over 70 Atlanta Mission residents this year, helping men and women publicly begin their new spiritual journeys.
A member of the Technical Colleges of Georgia system, Lanier Tech has become a valued partner of The Potter’s House, helping Atlanta Mission Residents obtain GEDs. Instructors volunteer multiple times a week, offering GED courses as well as private tutoring and computer training courses.

REACHING ATLANTA AND BEYOND
We seek to use multiple media resources to tell the stories of the work being done at Atlanta Mission.
Atlanta Mission thrift stores financially support our programs and services, and offer valuable job readiness opportunities to our guests and residents.
THRIFT
Since its inception, the symbol used to encompass the message of Atlanta Mission has been a light. It started as a lampstand, a beacon to draw those in need of hope, and has become a lantern, seeking to end homelessness and bring hope to an entire city. In fiscal year 2013, we were blessed with various platforms to share the message of Atlanta Mission with new audiences.
With six stores, Atlanta Mission thrift has the opportunity to serve families in need through our voucher program. Families in need of clothing, household items and other essentials are able to work with our store employees to get their items at little to no cost. We also work with agencies

75 years ago the Atlanta Mission began “with faith in God, 20 beds and debt of $28,000.� In the decades since, Atlanta Mission has grown immensely, but godly stewardship of our resources is still at the core of our organization. It is through the sacrificial generosity of our supporters that we can provide services to the homeless and hurting in our city. For this reason, we take great care to make accurate, detailed and transparent financial information readily available to our constituents.
