Inner City Outreach: Adopt a Block with the Atlanta Dream Center
(a Street GRACE partnership)
(For more information on our efforts to stop the commercial exploitation of children in Atlanta, visit www.streetgrace.org.) The old 4th ward is known for drugs, prostitution, and poverty stricken families. Every week teams go out into the 4th ward to meet practical and spiritual needs of the people. Teams meet outside the Dream Center offices on Saturday mornings (10 am), then go out into the neighborhood with groceries, trash bags—showing the residents of this neighborhood a glimpse of who Jesus is through our love and kindness. All volunteers should plan on bringing a bag of grocery items to give away. Pick a Saturday, any Saturday! For more info and to sign up go to: http://www.atlantaic.org or contact Karen Klett at Karen.klett@12stone.com.

Serve Homeless Families with Family Promise!
12Stone Church has a partnership with Family Promise in an effort to end homeless, one family at a time. For more information visit their website: www.familypromisegwinnett.org. Serving opportunities include:
Dinner Host - Provides dinner and prayer to the families 5:30-7pm daily. Fun Host- provides socialization and conversation to the families. If you have kids, there are always other children to play with! This typically is from 7pm-9pm. Games and crafts are always enjoyed and appreciated.
Overnight Host - Provides them with an emergency point of contact. Since the families go to their rooms around this time, there is not much interaction with the families.
