We Love Buford Highway

We Love Buford Highway We Love Buford Highway, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit preserving the multicultural identity of Atlanta

Buford Highway is more than a corridor, it’s a cultural lifeline stretching 35 miles through metro Atlanta, rooted in immigrant resilience and heritage. At We Love Buford Highway, we focus on the heart of this story: a rapidly changing 10-mile stretch within DeKalb County's cities of Brookhaven, Chamblee, and Doraville, where development pressure threatens to erase decades of cultural and economic

contributions made by immigrant communities. In response, we’ve built a multifaceted movement rooted in food, music, storytelling, and advocacy. Since 2020, we’ve served over 100,000 individuals through culturally relevant food and well-being programs that nourish both body and dignity. Our Buford Highway Orchestra has grown from a pilot of 10 to 55 youth musicians, all from low-income families, proof that investment in the arts creates community, belonging and futures. We’ve collected immigrant stories through our Oral History Project, capturing the voices and lived experiences of those who make Buford Highway a legacy. We support immigrant-owned businesses with resource navigation, and advocate for anti-displacement strategies that protect livelihoods and cultural legacy. As active stewards of the Humanities, we serve on local arts, culture, and tourism boards, ensuring policy and preservation go hand in hand. Together, we’re building a community archive and a future where Buford Highway’s multicultural identity isn’t just remembered, but boldly celebrated.

We’re less than a week away from FEAST!

As we count down to FEAST 2026: Threads of South Asia, we’re feeling incredibly grateful.

To our sponsors, in-kind supporters, local businesses, artists, community partners, and friends who have donated their time, talents, resources, and dollars—thank you.

We simply could not do this work, or create an evening like FEAST, without your generosity. Every contribution helps us continue showing up for the families, young people, small businesses, cultures, and stories that make Buford Highway home.

There’s still time to pull up a chair.

We’re so excited to welcome three incredible entrepreneurs who are sharing their hearts, culture, and talents with us for FEAST 2026: Threads of South Asia.

Monica, owner and founder of The Chai Box, is generously bringing guests a tasting of authentic Indian chai, sharing the warmth, spices, traditions, and stories behind every cup.

Throughout the evening, henna artists Maisa of Color Me Pretty and Hunza of Beautifly will share their beautiful artistry and talents with our guests.

These women are bringing more than their businesses to FEAST. They’re sharing pieces of culture, tradition, entrepreneurship, and themselves with all of us.

This is what FEAST is about: community supporting community and celebrating the people who keep culture alive.
