The Fuller Center of Greater Atlanta

🍔🎶 We’re excited to be part of Flavor Fest this Saturday, June 6!

Hosted by Encompass Ministries, Flavor Fest brings together great food, local vendors, live music, family fun and community connection for an afternoon that celebrates the best of our community.

If you're planning to attend, be sure to stop by and say hello to the Fuller Center for Housing of Greater Atlanta team. We'd love to share more about our mission to help hardworking families achieve affordable homeownership and how we're working to build stronger communities across Metro Atlanta.

Come enjoy the food, support local businesses and connect with neighbors - all for a great cause.

📍 Northside Hospital-Cherokee Amphitheater

Come find the Fuller Center booth and say hello - we'd love to see you there!

At Northside Hospital Cherokee, they are committed to the wellness of our community. Their sponsorship of Flavor Fest reflects that commitment by helping bring families together while supporting efforts to fight food insecurity through our community food drive.

Come join us this Saturday June 6th, from 12-5pm at FlavorFest. Admission is free! We simply ask that you consider bringing a non-perishable food item to support our community food drive.

To is to have space for the moments that matter most. A meal shared together. Children playing in the yard. Neighbors becoming community. A place that feels safe, stable and truly your own.

This Memorial Day and always, we remember those whose sacrifice helped make those moments possible - and honor the meaning of home in all its forms. 💙

Proud of our Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders for getting this $500,000 grant. They've been quite busy in Kentucky and North Carolina after the hurricanes, floods, and tornado's. Well done!!

We’re grateful to share that Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders has been awarded a $500,000 implementation grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. through its Hope After the Storm initiative.

This investment will help strengthen our ability to serve families recovering from disasters by:
• Expanding volunteer recruitment, training, and support
• Enhancing systems to better track projects and resources
• Increasing our capacity to sustain long-term rebuilding efforts across the U.S.

Faith-based organizations play a vital role in disaster recovery—walking alongside families long after the headlines fade. This grant helps ensure that we can continue our mission, and increase our capacity in response to increasing need for our services.

Thank you to Lilly Endowment Inc. for partnering with us in this mission. Together, we’re rebuilding homes—and restoring lives.

It's been estimated that churches in Fulton county alone have over 6200 unused acres. Think of the teachers aides, first responders, nurses aides, school system support staff, veterans, and general workforce that could house?

Religious groups own more than 2.6 million acres of underutilized land across the U.S., enough to support 800,000 new homes. A growing movement called YIGBY, Yes in God's Backyard, is turning that opportunity into affordable housing. In Boise, ID, where home prices have surged 67.4% since 2019, nonprofit LEAP Housing partners with congregations to build on church land through long-term ground leases, often for just $1 a year. The first project converted a church parking lot into two family homes renting at 50% below market rate.

This Easter, we’re reminded that new beginnings often start from the inside out.

Behind every door is more than just a space - it’s stability, dignity and the chance to build a future.

As we celebrate a season of renewal, we’re grateful for the opportunity to help working families step into something new a place to call home.

Dreams of Christian leaders Dr. King, Millard Fuller intersect in visible ways - The Fuller Center for Housing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Millard Fuller never met, but they shared dreams of empowering people through their faith.

The Fuller Center for Housing of Greater Atlanta annually undertakes numerous home repair projects for families in need. Each project offers meaningful opportunities to show and share love for our clients, volunteers, and sponsor churches. One recent project was particularly impactful.

Bruce and Nancy, longtime residents of Cherokee County, faced challenges maintaining their home due to health issues and a fixed income. When Bruce required a wheelchair ramp to return home from rehabilitation, the Fuller Center stepped in to construct a 75-foot ramp required to accommodate the 74-inch rise. During the process, Nancy expressed her hope that a nearby Japanese Maple, planted in memory of her sister, tragically killed 30 years ago, could be preserved. There wasn’t a dry eye on the team, and they ensured the tree remained untouched (see dedication plaque in pic).

This project was made possible through the support of Stand Up For Seniors, Cobb EMC, Lummus Supply, and the volunteer efforts of St Peter Chanel Catholic Church. COBB EMC COMMUNITY FOUNDATION INC, Carley Stephens, Thomas D'Amato, Paul Dobson, CMA, Will Lummus
