A group of 36 volunteers from the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, Century Communities, and HBNext joined HomeAid Georgia for an impactful Care Day at The Place on August 21. Volunteers removed a greenhouse, spread new mulch, created a new walkway, and built benches to create a more welcoming space for individuals and families accessing essential resources, including food, clothing, and financial assistance, on their path to self-sufficiency.

A special thank you to MTScapes for donating mulch and Elite Stone & Supply for donating flagstone to help make this day a success!

The Place, located in Cumming, provides vital support to individuals and families across Forsyth and Dawson counties. As more people turn to The Place for help due to layoffs, rising food and housing costs, and other challenges, the organization provides essential resources including a food pantry, thrift store, minor home repairs, and more.

In 2025 alone, The Place provided more than $3.4 million in support, impacting over 1,300 households and serving more than 5,800 people through its mobile food pantry. From helping seniors access food and stability to supporting families working toward self-sufficiency, The Place continues to be a vital resource for the local community.

Forty Bank of America employees made a big impact by assembling 1,000 CareKits filled with hygiene essentials, including socks, toothpaste, deodorant, and more, for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This event marked their 10th onsite CareKit assembly, bringing their all-time total to 10,400 CareKits donated to local nonprofits serving our neighbors in need.

The 1,000 CareKits were distributed to two of HomeAid Georgia’s nonprofit partners: Another Chance of Atlanta, which provides housing for veterans and recovery support services for people in recovery, and Blessings Working Together, which provides health, education, and social services to adolescent parents as they work toward self-sufficiency for themselves and their families.

HomeAid Georgia’s CareKit initiative began in 2014 as a national partnership between HomeAid and Bank of America. Today, CareKits are made possible through the generous support of partners who sponsor these essential hygiene kits, helping meet the immediate needs of those in need of the most basic necessities.

Since 2019, Fischer Homes has been helping HomeAid Georgia build a future without homelessness with over $131,000 in donations.

Fischer Homes has consistently supported our annual events and fundraising initiatives. They have also brought their team out to participate in Care Days. The value of their hands-on contribution so far is over $29,000 with one more scheduled early next year.

We are grateful for Fischer Homes' continued partnership and their dedication to supporting local communities in need.

Fischer Homes is a leading homebuilder creating thoughtfully designed homes and communities across the country, including the Greater Atlanta area. Since 1980, the company has built more than 40,000 homes, combining quality craftsmanship, personalized design, and a commitment to creating communities where families can thrive.
