Backpack Drive
Aug 11, 2021

Resident advocates are an integral part of our work at oaksATL. They provide care and accountability for the residents in their buildings and foster a thriving community environment. Our resident advocates meet with a team from Oaks once a month and often throw out ideas on how to improve the community. 

Over the summer, the resident advocates decided the neighborhood could use a backpack drive. They came together to collect over 70 backpacks and gave them all away at the event they planned on July 24th! In addition to the backpack drive, there was a bounce house and barbecue for their neighbors to enjoy. It was a joy for our team to get to participate in an event that our advocates planned and see the community come together to care for one another and have some fun. It was a reminder that God is at work in this place and through these incredible people. Check out some more pictures below of what was a great day at oaksATL!

One Step at a Time Sometimes the vision in your mind just needs a jolt of persistence and determination to make it a reality. The vision of Peace Prep Academy was born from a need to provide quality education to students and ensuring that their needs are met. But when thinking about the whole child, education can only reach so far. The child's life outside of school was crucial to their ability to succeed. Fast forward a year later, oaksATL was born.

4 2 6 Cairo Finalizing a project always brings us joy. It has been a little over a month since our peace prep family moved into their new home. Our goal with this project, along with our other projects, is to keep English Avenue residents in their community. This project was a fun one for our construction team. Due to extremely generous donors we were able to provide a high quality renovation to a house the City of Atlanta deemed uninhabitable. Our new residents love their new house. They are looking forward to the holiday season to continue making their house a home.
