Our Impact
Community Engagement
In addition to our building and remodeling projects, HomeAid reaches out to meet the immediate needs of Northern California families and individuals experiencing homeless and the organizations that assist them. Every year we complete several HomeAid Care Days, HomeAid CareKits, and the HomeAid Essentials Drive.
HomeAid Essentials
Another outreach project is our annual Essentials Drive, our yearly drive to collect “essential” baby items in great need by families with young children experiencing homelessness. Since 2001, HomeAid has collected more than 1.7 million items and distributed them to more than 30 local nonprofit organizations serving the metro Atlanta area. Businesses, community organizations, and individuals are invited to participate in the Essentials Drive by hosting a collection site or donating items like diapers and baby wipes.
HomeAid CareKits
In 2014, HomeAid began its CareKits initiative. CareKits are hygiene kits packed by volunteers and donated to local providers of homeless services. Since 2014, HomeAid has assembled and donated 7,300 CareKits in partnership with Bank of America, a national sponsor of HomeAid.
HomeAid Care Days
Through hands-on opportunities, volunteers come together to support the work of our network of community nonprofit partners. Volunteers work with HomeAid to assist with housing/shelter improvement projects such as landscape renewal, interior/exterior clean-up, painting and light construction work.
