HomeAid Cares for Our House Georgia

Atlanta building industry volunteers transform dining room at shelter for homeless families.
 
ATLANTA - Aug. 26, 2019 - PRLog -- On August 17, HomeAid Atlanta brought a group of volunteers to Our House Georgia, an Atlanta shelter for homeless families with newborns. Volunteers from Decatur's Resonate Church and the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association participated in HomeAid's ninth Care Day of the year. HomeAid Care Days provide free of-charge maintenance and repairs for nonprofit facilities serving Atlanta's homeless population.

Led by home builder Steven Sanders-Myers, the group demolished old flooring and installed new floor tiles in Our House's large dining room. Tarkett Hospitality donated flooring and glue for the project. The work of volunteers and donations of materials provided a savings of more than $2,000 for Our House. Instead of going toward facility maintenance, these savings can benefit Our House's families by providing basic needs and programming.

This was the third time Sanders-Myers and his team from Resonate Church have volunteered with HomeAid Atlanta. In May of 2018, they completed an interior renovation over the course of six Saturdays at Wilderness Works City Camp, adding eight beds for at-risk children to attend camp. In April 2019, the group spent a Saturday installing cabinets as part of HomeAid's kitchen renovation at Rainbow Village.

Sanders-Myers said, "I believe that ALL people are my neighbors and I strive to treat everyone that way. God has given me knowledge and abilities to build houses and that is one of the most effective ways that I can help those in need."

HomeAid Atlanta is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 that builds new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach.
