High homeless population makes Atlanta one of the neediest cities in America Every city has its share of homelessness and poverty, but some places are worse than others. That’s especially true for Atlanta.

Hi All,
Just a huge word of thanks for "Cause For Hope" and founder Meg Sparger whom has organized and run the 1200 sq. Ft. clothing closet at our location. These pictures demonstrate the organization required to run such a successful endeavor. The closet fully clothed about 6500 homeless, men, women and children in 2016. We are in need of clothing donations to continue serving the homeless in 2017. Clothing can be dropped off at ARC anytime. All donations are tax deductible.
God Bless and we look forward to receiving your donations to better serve our community.

2016 was a phenomenal year for the Atlanta Recovery Center thanks to our partnering agencies that support us to generous donations of prepared meals, clothing, sponsorship of residents and referrals. We hit an all time milestone of 120,000 meals served. 6500 men, women and children fully clothed. 1800 toiletry care packages put in the hands of those who need it. 400 coats and 1200 blankets distributed. 50 back packs loaded with necessities to homeless veterans.

We look forward to continuing our partnerships and service of those in need in 2017 and beyond.
God Bless
