Compassion in Action

Through an organization of churches called Unite!, help is being brought to so many places across North Atlanta, crossing denominational, racial, and socio-economic lines. Hands On Atlanta helped organize this massive effort while the churches responded with volunteers, logistics, and time. Driveways were made, school yards were cleaned up, bathrooms painted, treat bags made for teachers in appreciation, houses cleaned, as well as many many more projects all across Gwinnett and Fulton counties.


At Norcross High School, teams of volunteers from all different churches worked together to lay straw, pick up trash, blow debris off sidewalks and driveways, as well as paint bathrooms.

In the cafeteria, goodie bags were made in appreciation for the teachers of Norcross High School. Many families showed up to work side by side like this little girl and her dad.



At Wellspring, a transitional house for women, a sidewalk and driveway were poured (that's hard work) while women and teens painted and deep cleaned the inside.



They didn't forget one part of the house, including the shutters!
