🌟 A legacy can help create a path toward stability for generations to come.

During National Make-A-Will Month, consider including SVdP in your will or estate plans. A future gift can help neighbors across Georgia stay housed, put food on the table, access needed medicine and move from crisis to stability.

If you'd like to be a part of our mission, we’re pleased to offer complimentary access to FreeWill, a guided estate planning tool sponsored for us by The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia. 📑 FreeWill can help you create or update your will, make your wishes known and consider the legacy you want to leave behind.

By including SVdP in your plans, your generosity can continue opening doors to stability, opportunity and hope for neighbors long into the future. ❤️

✨ BIG NEWS! ✨
What does it take to help someone move out of homelessness and into a place where they can truly belong?

Alan Graham has spent more than 25 years exploring that question.

As the Founder and CEO of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, Alan helped create Community First! Village, a neighborhood in Austin serving people who have experienced chronic homelessness. His work shows what can happen when housing is paired with community, connection and care.

On September 24, Alan will bring that perspective to Atlanta as the keynote speaker for Morning of Hope 2026.

After separating from her partner, Jazz relied on family for a place to stay. When the living situation was no longer suitable for her and her children, she found herself pregnant and sleeping in her car with her two young daughters.

She was determined to create something different for her family. She just needed a stable place to begin.

Today, Jazz and her daughters have a home and a community walking alongside them. With childcare in place and a new job, Jazz is working toward her goals while preparing to welcome her baby this month.

Jazz’s strength continues to move her family forward, while Marillac Moms provides the housing, encouragement, and individualized support to help her build lasting stability.

Applications are now open for pregnant mothers experiencing homelessness. Watch Jazz’s story, share this opportunity with someone who may need it, or help support another mother’s journey toward stability.

As Disability Pride Month comes to a close, we're celebrating the people whose differing abilities and perspectives strengthen our communities every day.

One of those people is Avery.

Seventeen years ago, Avery came to SVdP through the Bobby Dodd Institute work training program. Today, he's a beloved member of our Chamblee team, helping sort donations, maintain our campus, and bringing joy to coworkers and volunteers alike.

Disability Pride Month calls us to recognize the dignity, talents, and contributions of every person. By creating opportunities where people of all abilities can thrive, we build stronger communities rooted in respect, belonging, and hope. This is something that SVdP strives to live out everyday.

As our Senior Director of Human Resources Sonji Bates-Boston shared, "The fact that for so many years Avery has thrived and felt 'at home' working here speaks to our culture of treating everyone with dignity and respect."

Thank you, Avery, for 17 years of helping make SVdP Georgia feel like home for so many!

At SVdP, friendship is an essential element that shapes the way we serve.

Every home visit starts by listening. Every conversation is an opportunity to build trust. Every relationship is a reminder that each person deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with dignity.

✝️ Blessed Frédéric Ozanam believed that when people come together to do good, they also grow closer to one another. That spirit continues to shape our mission today.

This International Day of Friendship, we're grateful for every volunteer, neighbor, donor, and supporter who chooses to build community one relationship at a time. Together, we show that friendship has the power to restore hope and strengthen lives.

Happy International Day of Friendship, Vincentians! 👫
