“We know the past year has been a challenging year for everyone, including families experiencing situational homelessness,” Family Promise of North Fulton/DeKalb Executive Director Andrea Brantley said. “Even as we turn toward a semblance of ‘normal,’ the economic impact of the pandemic will likely persist, causing even more hardships on families. By participating in this fundraiser, people can help provide a direct lift to families in their communities and ease some of the pandemic’s impact.”

Healthcare IT Leaders; Sarah and Rob Caverhill; Temple Sinai Atlanta; Toni Rabbe; Oakbridge Partners; Brooks, McGinnis and Company LLC; Neighborhood Restaurants; Donaldson Capital Management; Crawford & Merritt Company; and t-Olive Properties are sponsoring this year’s event.

Family Promise of North Fulton/DeKalb provides emergency family housing and a path to independence to families experiencing situational homelessness. Its programs are possible through a community-based response.

The organization is driven by support from volunteers and donors and offers engagement programs for individuals, congregations, corporations and community organizations to support its mission.

Anyone interested in sponsoring this year’s event can sign up to do so until April 19. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Andrea Brantley at andreabrantley@familypromisenfd.org.
