Volunteer With Gathering Industries
Your time and skills can change lives. By volunteering with Gathering Industries, you become part of a community that gives second chances and builds a stronger Atlanta.
Why Volunteer With Us?
Homelessness in Atlanta affects more than 7,000 people on any given night. Behind every number is a story of resilience and hope. At Gathering Industries, we know transformation doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when people come together. Volunteers are the heartbeat of our mission, helping us train, mentor, and uplift men and women seeking a fresh start.
When you volunteer, you’re not just giving time — you’re giving hope, encouragement, and the tools for a brighter tomorrow.
“It’s more than just volunteering — it’s witnessing transformation. Every time I step into the kitchen, I’m reminded that second chances are possible.”
— Maria, Volunteer Mentor
