This past Friday Co-Principal Dana Brown had the opportunity to serve at the Atlanta Mission. Watch video below.
“The Atlanta Mission has been called by God to serve the city of Atlanta. Since its 1938 beginnings, this Christian nonprofit ministry has grown from a small soup kitchen to a multi-facility organization serving Metro Atlanta’s large homeless population. Today, Atlanta Mission provides emergency shelter, rehab and recovery services, vocational training, services, and transitional housing. We serve more than 1,000 homeless men, women, and children every day.”
