We know that this community – even without the Winetasting – will come together to support Atlanta families in a time of unprecedented crisis.

When the calendar flipped to January 2019, I was wringing my hands thinking about our fundraising goal of over $4,000,000.

It’s National Housing Week of Action! The more engaged we are, the better our community can support the needs of all Atlantans in a fair and equitable way.

In February, AVLF is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Safe Families Office – Georgia’s first lawyer-staffed, courthouse-based walk-in clinic for survivors of domestic abuse.

The Indoor Air Quality Association hosted their annual meeting and Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation was there to talk health and housing.

Just in time for the holidays, AVLF’s Standing with Our Neighbors Program hosted its first-ever toy and clothing drive.

On Saturday, September 8th, AVLF and clothing brand Chloe Kristyn combined fashion and philanthropy by hosting a stylish affair at the home of AVLF board member Elizabeth Finn Johnson.

AVLF co-founder John Chandler and his wife Beth Tanis draw upon their history with AVLF to underpin our first-ever annual campaign.

Luxury clothing line Chloe Kristyn has teamed up with AVLF to raise money for our Safe and Stable Families Project.

This year’s PurSHOEing Justice was wildly successful, raising more funds for our Safe and Stable Families program than any previous event.

AVLF’s staff and Board of Directors have worked hard to design the 2018 AVLF Annual Campaign – a comprehensive, year-round fundraising plan – not only to sustain our successes to the greatest extent possible, but also to enhance your experience as a supporter of our work. We plan to focus on the reasons why you trust AVLF, year after year, to improve the lives of Atlantans in need. 

Junior Board of Directors President Jimmy Rusert explains what led him to AVLF, and how he thinks the Junior Board can make the organization even better.
