Atlanta, we're preparing for the approaching storm, and we're here to help.
The City of Atlanta is working with our partners to provide an emergency shelter for individuals and families who may be impacted by severe weather. Shelters will open tonight at 11 p.m.

📍 Selena Butler Recreation Center – Women and children
📍 R. J. Orange Recreation Center – Men

Outreach teams will be deployed to connect with individuals experiencing homelessness and provide transportation to available shelter locations.
We encourage everyone to stay weather-aware, take necessary precautions, and follow official City of Atlanta channels for updates.

Stay safe, Atlanta!

Want to help make a house feel like a home?

A towel means a hot shower and a little comfort. A pillow for a good night's rest. A phone to stay connected with a case manager, doctor or loved one.

These everyday essentials can help turn a new space into a place that feels comfortable, secure and truly like home.

Socks are among the most frequently requested items by the neighbors we serve, and among the hardest to keep in stock. Having access to clean, dry socks can be a matter of comfort, hygiene, and dignity — but socks are an everyday need that is easy to overlook. We're grateful to U First and Bombas for helping us keep this essential item available to our neighbors.

Recently, several members of our board joined our Homeless Services team for outreach with our neighbors.

Having both staff and board members actively engaged in our work is an important part of how we live out our values, including:

Accountability — Establishing mutual trust and responsibility among our clients, staff and board members while serving as good stewards of our resources.

Our board members helped distribute food and spent time meeting and connecting with people where they are. By stepping into the community alongside our staff, they gained a firsthand understanding of the work, the people we serve and the role we all play in advancing our mission.

We’re grateful to have a board that stays engaged, asks questions and takes an active role in our community and our mission.

We are so grateful to the students and staff at SPARK for their commitment to addressing food insecurity in their own community.

From growing food in classroom aerogardens and on their rooftop garden to recovering edible food from their cafeteria and organizing creative fundraisers, these students are finding meaningful ways to support their neighbors.

Thank you for welcoming Tanya Frazee, our Senior Director of Development, and for choosing to support Intown Cares. We are inspired by your curiosity, creativity and commitment to making a difference!

Overdose deaths are preventable, and knowing how to respond can save a life.

On International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the people who have lost their lives to overdose and recognize the lasting impact those losses have on families, friends and communities.

Overdose can affect people from all walks of life. Having access to lifesaving resources, knowing how to recognize an overdose and understanding when to call for help can make a difference.

Georgia Overdose Prevention is a volunteer organization working to prevent overdose deaths across Georgia. They provide education about overdose prevention, distribute naloxone and share information about laws that can help people respond to an overdose.

Their website includes a map of locations across Georgia where you can find free naloxone (Narcan), including distribution boxes that are available 24 hours a day.

Georgia Overdose Prevention also provides education about Georgia's 911 Medical Amnesty Law, which provides important legal protections for people who call 911 to seek medical help during an overdose.

Taking a few minutes to learn how to recognize an overdose and how to use naloxone could help save someone's life.

Learn more, find free naloxone near you and learn about Georgia's 911 Medical Amnesty Law at GeorgiaOverdosePrevention.org.

This International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember those we have lost, support those who are still here and work toward a future where more people survive.

We had a great time at National Night Out!

Thank you to Midtown Neighbors' Association for bringing neighbors, community organizations, and public safety partners together for an evening of connection, conversation, and community.

We were proud to be there alongside fellow organizations, sharing more about Intown Cares and the ways we work to support our neighbors experiencing hunger and homelessness. Strong communities are built when we show up for one another, and we’re grateful to be part of this one.

A big thank you to the Global Sales team at Delta Air Lines for spending time with us in our food pantry!

Their hands-on support helped us keep our pantry stocked, organized, and ready to serve our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. We were grateful for the time and energy they brought to our pantry and for their commitment to giving back to the community.

Thank you, Delta Global Sales, for volunteering at Intown Cares and helping us serve our neighbors across Intown Atlanta!
