Project CrossRoads @ St. Lukes Church
SAT, MAY 18 10a
This day has been set up for several reasons:
1. To have a positive impact on the lives of
people that are currently homeless
2. Improve the conditions of the center where homeless people
go for help
3. Increase awareness of the community to the challenges of
homeless people
4. Clean-up downtown Atlanta and increase community involvement
For all of us, eating a hot meal, sleeping in a warm bed,
and receiving mail at our home are routine events we experience
daily. Yet, for the thousands of homeless men, women and children
living in Atlanta, these simple pleasures are luxuries not
often experienced. Have you ever considered how you would
apply for a job if you had no home address?
But CrossRoads NEEDS YOUR HELP! Located in the basement of
St. Lukes Church in downtown Atlanta, the CrossRoads facility
is in disrepair, with paint-chipped walls, torn carpeting
and broken windows. In order to improve the overall appearance
of the facility and create a more inviting environment, the
First Annual "Project CrossRoads Volunteer Day"
has been scheduled for Saturday, May 18th from 10am to 4pm.
If you have a desire to help during any part of the day, and
don't mind getting a little dirty, we need help with painting,
minor repair work, and just cleaning up!
FOR MORE INFORMATION please contact Gregg Dewire - Gregg.Dewire@bellsouth.com
