We were happy to be able to help out one of our favorite charities again, the Nicholas House in Atlanta, GA with a monetary donation. The Nicholas House is a nonprofit agency that operates a transitional housing shelter as well as scattered apartment sites for homeless families.
Their Mission – Assisting homeless families in making the transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency in a structured but home-like environment. Nicholas House is committed to assisting its families attain three goals that form the basis of self-sufficiency.
- Earning a Living Wage
- Maintaining the Physical, Mental and Social Health of Parents and Children
- Maintaining Safe and Stable Housing
Nicholas House understands that providing basic subsistence – food and shelter – is necessary but not sufficient to prevent most homeless families from becoming homeless again.
Nicholas House accepts homeless families no matter what their size and makeup: expectant mothers, single mothers and fathers, couples and their children, including teenage male children-and large families with as many as 10 members.
Because most shelters are gender-specific, serving only men or women and their children, homelessness often separates family members from each other, often times with devastating consequences. By accepting the entire family, Nicholas House helps keep families together.
Please visit Nicholas House to learn more about what they do and how you can volunteer your time or make a donation to assist those in need.
