Volunteers Join Three October Care Days

Care Day at Status: Home


At our October 20 HomeAid Care Day at Status:Home (formerly Jerusalem House) volunteers from Northwest Exterminating, Brand Vaughan Lumber, and BOMA Georgia spent the day painting seven townhome apartments (plus carpet removal and more) that will provide affordable housing for Status: Home clients.


Status: Home is the oldest and largest provider of permanent housing, holistic support, and empowerment for Atlanta’s low-income and homeless individuals and families impacted by HIV/AIDS. 

Back-to-Back Care Days at

Calvary Children's Home


Nearly 40 JW Collection (top right, and photos, right) employees volunteered with HomeAid on October 13 at Calvary, completing several projects, including finishing building a fence, repairing a walkway, installing drywall and doors, building shelving units, painting, and spreading two truckloads of mulch.


On October 14, volunteers from The Northview Church (top left, and three photos below) finished the work. The group tackled landscaping tasks, cleaned and organized, made electrical fixes, painted the donation rooms, and reorganized the food pantry. 


Founded in 1966, Calvary Children’s Home is a home for children in the Metro Atlanta area who need to live apart from their families. Calvary provides a safe, stable, loving, Christian home for these children and strives to provide them with the very best skills, education, and values so that they may become responsible, productive members of society.

Hope & Homes Golf Tournament
