Serve

Peachtree continues to step up in dramatic ways to serve in our community and around the world. You can help by sponsoring students in India and Malawi, helping to distribute much-needed food to local families, or tutoring students online. Please consider participating in one or all of the following opportunities.

Habitat for Humanity

Saturdays, March 2–April 20

Join Peachtree Church as we build our 161st Atlanta Habitat for Humanity home! This year we are building a two-story home for a young father and his two sons. Volunteers must be 16+ years old and we encourage you to bring friends to build with you—no previous building experience is needed! Together we are building a home and bringing hope to this family.

Student Sponsorships

Through student sponsorship, you have the ability to walk with a student on their educational journey. Sponsoring a student is not just about changing their lives, it is about transforming the lives of their family, community, and your own life.

India

In India, education is provided by the government for children 7–14, but they are required to pay for all school books, supplies, meals, and state-regulated uniforms. These costs can be exorbitant and families often are unable to pay them.

Malawi

In Malawi, the government provides free education through primary school. If a child wishes to go to high school or further in education, they must pay those fees themselves. In the Chitipa district the annual income for a family is $367 a year and a year of high school costs $250.

Currently the only remaining sponsorships are at the College level for the '23-'24 year. 

Atlanta

The Bill Maness Good Samaritan Scholarship celebrates and encourages Atlanta high school seniors to rise above their personal and financial challenges in order to help those in need. The Scholarship is awarded each year to a graduating, college-accepted senior who has a financial need, scholastic achievement, a strong determination to start and finish college, and is willing to accept a Mentor who will walk alongside, encourage, and guide their ‘Scholar’ for all four years. 

Kidz2leaders

One of our local partnerships benefitting from Renewing the Promise is Kidz2Leaders, a local gospel-centered program working to break the cycle of generational incarceration.

 

Did you know that if you are a child who has one or both parents incarcerated that you are 3x more likely than your peers to be incarcerated? Kidz2Leaders works to provide stability, opportunity, and a Christian community for children of inmates. They have served over 1,500 children in the past 24 years and 99% of them are living free from incarceration.

 

Our church will not only be making a significant financial investment in Kidz2Leaders, but we are also encouraging our community to get involved by serving these families.

Online Tutoring for LaAmistad

LaAmistad, which simply means “the friendship,” is the premier organization serving Latinos in Atlanta. With an environment constructed around the premise of friendships and relationships, we foster educational excellence and help our students, parents, and families to achieve a better quality of life.

 

Show your love and support for students who need your help by volunteering in LaAmistad Afterschool's new virtual platform this fall!
