How We Serve

The Unity Atlanta Outreach Team asks your help in alleviating food insecurity this holiday season!
We ask our Beloved Community to participate in this month’s service project by making a donation directly to the Atlanta Community Food Bank this November. Any amount will be used to relieve food insecurity. Every $1 donated helps provide enough food for 4 meals to hungry neighbors. We, your Unity Atlanta Outreach Team thank you in advance for sharing abundance this season.
To donate go to www.acfb.org and click “Donate”. Or use this direct link here.
The Giving Tree 2020
This Christmas Season we are collecting items for the Interfaith Outreach Home
Mission: The mission of IOH is to empower hardworking, homeless families through safe, affordable apartments and critical support services so they can achieve sustained self-sufficiency and stability.
Vision: The financial and emotional well-being of displaced, working families can improve when they have access to secure, affordable housing and support services. The goals of IOH are to keep families together, free from government assistance, and independently housed. Graduates of IOH are confident, contributing members of the larger community and armed with the tools to never be homeless again.
Currently there are 10 families and most have 3 to 4 members.
Items Needed:
Visa Gift Cards and Wal-Mart Gift Cards
The gift of a gift card allows our families to prioritize their many needs. Gift cards allow our families the flexibility to purchase food, clothing, gas or medicine.
Pantry Items: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent and bleach.
November 22 – December 20 (5 Sundays)
The tree is located in the Lobby – Please place pantry items under the tree and place gift cards in the silver box.

Kids Hope USA
We at Unity Atlanta are SO EXCITED to about our new “Life Together” program, in partnership with Kids Hope USA and Peachtree Elementary.
Program Mission: To build life-changing relationships one at a time: One Child, One School, One Church.
A uniquely equipped mentor, supported by a highly engaged prayer partner, and enabled by a scholarship provider, can change the world, one little world at a time. And our greatest resource is our capacity to share love, just by showing up.
Life Together is life at its best. This is how Beloved Community serves.
There are three ways to get involved.
- Be a mentor to a child selected by the school. This requires spending one hour a week with a child selected just for you between the hours of 10:45 and 1:15, depending on the child’s lunch period. There are many children waiting for a positive mentor in their life.
- Be a scholarship donor to a child and a mentor for $15.00 a month.
- Be a silent prayer partner for the mentor and child.
