Concerned Citizens of Atlanta, Inc.

Today members of Concerned Citizens of Atlanta hosted brunch for the residents of Lillie Campbell high rise. The organization coordinates an event before Thanksgiving each year at a senior citizen facility.

Concerned Citizens of Atlanta distributed Valentine Day gift bags to 30 seniors that receive our services.

Each month volunteers from our organization distribute food boxes to qualified senior citizens.
On Valentine’s Day, we also surprised recipients with gift bags full of home baked treats and snacks.

Let me tell you about these ladies. We all volunteer for Concerned Citizens of Atlanta, Inc., a nonprofit organization focusing on recreational and social activities for senior citizens. Throughout the pandemic we continued to service seniors with personal hygiene supplies, masks, and sanitizer kits in several high rises due to no in-person activities.

Last month, we sponsored Thanksgiving meals for about 230 residents catered by This Is It at Trinity Towers. Each month, we give out 30 food boxes through a partnership with the Atlanta Food Bank. Fortunately, my husband (Jackie) volunteers for the box initiative, which is greatly appreciated by all the volunteers!

Today we took a moment to fellowship with each other at Sweet Auburn BBQ on North Highland. With the constraints of COVID, we’ve followed all guidelines & no more than 2-3 of us attend a project. Hopefully, all 16 members will be able to continue our outreach in 2022 and gather as a group.

Each month we distribute food boxes from the Atlanta Community Food Bank to thirty qualified seniors. The boxes contain cheese, milk, canned vegetables/fruit, cereal, milk, tuna/salmon/chicken,
and pasta, rice, potato flakes,etc.
