Learn what it means to be a Faithful Friend

It’s surprising how powerful an ongoing friendship with someone you haven’t met can be. The Atlanta Mission’s Faithful Friends program allows monthly donors to help more than 1,000 people of all ages every day, providing shelter and safety, food, educational services, career development and counseling to get residents back on their feet.

If you donate now, the Atlanta Mission will help your gift go even further. When you become a monthly contributor, your first monthly gift will be tripled by an anonymous donor—up to $75,000! You will provide critically needed support to those experiencing homelessness throughout the year, and you’ll receive periodic updates on the lives transformed by your generosity.

For about the cost of a week of morning lattes, you can provide 10 full meals a month to hungry adults and kids or other essential services—and three times that for the first month with matching. Your consistent, generous gift will also provide a safe place to sleep, a shower, clean clothes—basics we so often take for granted—and these vital services will also be increased threefold the first month of your donation.

By automating and spreading your giving out over the course of the year, you provide everything a person needs to get back on their feet, find a fresh start and have hope for the future.

How can you triple your impact? Go to our Faithful Friends page and sign up to be a monthly donor. For your convenience, you may have your tax-deductible donation automatically processed from your selected bank account or card every month. Sign up to contribute $10 a month or more, and you’ll receive a welcome kit, including an Atlanta Mission tumbler.

Hear how your giving has changed the lives of our friends in their own words:

“From your generosity each month, you have walked alongside me and lifted me up.”

“You’ve given me the opportunity for my life to be transformed.”

“Because of your friendship, I have hope.”

But our Faithful Friends are doing much more than just contributing to the physical needs of Mission residents: they’re providing hope, a chance at personal and spiritual transformation, an education and a future.

How else can you provide so much for so little?

A famous man once said, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” Make a richer life for yourself and give someone else a fresh start on theirs by becoming a Faithful Friend today.
