As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we're launching 40 Stories—a special series that brings our history, our impact today, and our vision for tomorrow to life.

Over the coming months, you'll meet the founders, families, volunteers, partners, staff, and supporters who have shaped Atlanta Children's Day Shelter over the past four decades.

Because every story has helped build pathways. Every story has inspired hope.

📚 School is back in session! As students across our community head back to the classroom, we're making one final push for our Stock the Bus campaign.

Last month, Buzz Yellow Jacket helped us celebrate the Summer Mayor's Reading Club, filling the day with smiles, stories, and a love of learning. Today, we're turning that excitement into action by helping families get the supplies and essentials they need for a strong start.

✨ Your gift goes twice as far! Thanks to the Beazer Homes Charity Foundation, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $5,000.

🎒 Donate today, double your impact, and help our children and families soar this school year. Together, we're building pathways and building hope—one child, one family, and one bright future at a time.

40 years. One incredible community. ❤️ Thank you, Georgia's Own Credit Union, for helping celebrate Atlanta Children's Day Shelter's 40th anniversary by showcasing our milestone for all of Atlanta to see!

Carson is headed to Alabama State University this fall on a full-ride scholarship. 💙

As the oldest of seven children and a first-generation high school graduate, Carson has worked incredibly hard to reach this milestone.

Last year, Carson participated in our Back to School Bash, receiving school supplies, fresh haircuts, new school outfits, hygiene items, and other essentials to help him begin the school year feeling confident and prepared.

Help more children write stories like Carson's. 🎒 Through Stock the Bus, your gift will be doubled up to $5,000 thanks to the generous support of the Beazer Homes Charity Foundation.

Every child deserves to start the school year with confidence.
