The CK Daily – CK Giving Day 6, Habitat for Humanity and The Carter Center
We’ve invited each member of our team to advance our giving efforts and provide us with an organization they are passionate about to donate $500 to. Enjoy Joi Harris’ story below on the organization they selected.
Homelessness drastically affects the city of Atlanta. As the weather begins to change for the winter, many homeless people have nowhere to turn. Habitat for Humanity is working to provide better and more affordable housing for families in need. I remember sleeping in my care for extra credit in college to raise awareness for the homeless students on campus. It opened my eyes to the struggles of some of my peers. But even more, made me think about how many homeless people do not have cars. We barely made it through the night, trying to do homework in the car, and to think, we experienced only a fraction of what many homeless people actually go through on a daily basis. This experience affected my views on homelessness. I am grateful for Habitat for Humanity working to make a change for the homeless community.
