Due to the pandemic, MARTA suspended many bus routes throughout the city including Route #132 which serves the bus stop across the street from Malachi's Storehouse. This interruption in service affected many of our clients and volunteers.
Volunteer Bobby Akins said that due to the route being suspended near his house, he had to walk 15 minutes, sometimes in the dark, in order to get to the MARTA station closest to him. Now, the bus route is back and he can be picked up in front of his home.
Malachi's is grateful for the shuttle that MARTA provided from the Chamblee MARTA station directly to Malachi's each Wednesday. And, a special thank you to Howard Harris who drove the shuttle. Howard became a friend to everyone he met on the shuttle and in between drop-offs and pick-ups he helped out at Malachi's. He was always willing to help unload delivery trucks, move tables, lift heavy boxes, and be a helping hand wherever needed.
