Calvary Children’s Home
Founded in 1966, Calvary Children’s Home is a home for children in the Metro Atlanta area that need to live apart from their families. We provide a safe, loving, Christian home for these children while providing them with a stable home life. We strive to give the children entrusted in our care the very best skills, education, and values so that they may become responsible, productive members of society. Attending church, local schools, and participating in after school and community activities provide a sense of normalcy and gives our children experience in the real world.

Chosen for Life Ministries
Chosen for Life Ministries began ten years ago when a small group of people began to dream of a ministry that could raise awareness and provide support for adoptive families. A lot has happened over the last ten years, but we believe that there is still more to be done. Visit them at chosenforlifeministries.org

Hope 1312 Collective
At Hope 1312 Collective, they engage the church and community to enter the story of child welfare by providing tangible hope to children in hard places. Their efforts were launched in 2014 by a small group of community members, social workers, foster parents, youth pastors, and business executives who were tired of seeing kids linger in the foster care system and kids from hard places continue to struggle to find Hope. They wanted to see resources leveraged for meaningful impact, see the church truly be the church, and lives changed through an encounter with Hope. To learn more about who they are and what they do, visit their website at www.hope1312co.org.
