Homelessness Ended. 2014 Annual Report
“
Atlanta Mission has helped me find my direction and calling again. I will never be able to fully thank everyone who supports this program.” VALERIE
Dear Friends, With your help we prepared and served warm meals to the homeless in our community. We prepared great places for them to rest, clean up and sleep. We ministered to their spirits, too, speaking words of hope, wisdom and new life. Not with a bullhorn, but rather by embracing them, calling them by name, learning about their strengths, and helping them chart a path out of homelessness.
JIM REESE President & CEO Atlanta Mission
Thank you for having such compassion. Behind the scenes we continue to take extraordinary steps to fulfill our promise to end homelessness in the lives of everyone who accept our offer of help. We pressed hard to establish new children’s programs, leveraging the unique opportunity we have with children who stay with their moms at My Sister’s House. This included adding specialized staff, working with schools and after school programs, and partnering with others to cultivate greatness in these children. Our donors have been wonderful. And ours is a community that enthusiastically serves our clients through Bible studies, job training, GED education, parenting classes and food service. But that’s not all. Generous volunteers have designed, built, painted and furnished spaces where healing and transformation happen.
JOE ARNOLD Chairman of the Board, Atlanta Mission SVP Not-for-Profit & Government Banking, SunTrust Bank
It is with humble and grateful hearts that we share a few highlights of the work God is doing through all of us at Atlanta Mission. Through Christ, together, we are ending homelessness. Blessings,

“I want to tell donors, ‘Thank God for you!” A former nurse and professionally trained chef, Veronica’s addiction led her to dark places. While she was able to leave drugs behind many years ago, breaking the chains from alcohol proved to be a bigger challenge. As a mother, Veronica knew that she could not be the mother her children needed without seeking help. When she hit the bottom, Atlanta Mission was there to catch her and her family. Through the programs at My Sister’s House, Veronica has left her addictions behind. Because of friends and partners like you, she has experienced healing and a renewed relationship with God. She is looking forward to reentering the medical profession and is grateful for a fresh start at life.
