Give the Gift of a Second Chance
Your donation helps people in Atlanta overcome hardships through kitchen skills, job opportunities, and the dignity of work.
Why Your Donation Matters
Homelessness in Atlanta is not just a statistic — it’s a human story. Every night, nearly 7,000 people in our city are without stable housing, and over 1,000 are unsheltered. Families, children, and individuals who want to work and contribute are struggling to survive.
Your gift turns that reality into hope. At Gathering Industries, we use every dollar to provide culinary training, life-skills education, and job placement opportunities for those ready to rebuild. Each donation funds:
- Professional training in our kitchen
- Life and job readiness coaching
- Partnerships with Atlanta restaurants for employment
- Nutritious meals prepared and delivered through our Lunchbox program
Become a Monthly Sustainer
When you give monthly, you create reliable support that sustains our trainees every step of the way. Monthly gifts keep the kitchen open, the meals flowing, and the training consistent. Even a small recurring donation creates a lasting impact.
