Working with Homeless at Heart throughout Atlanta, we warmed the hearts of 500 homeless people on Valentine’s Day with boxes of love containing daily essentials and a handwritten note to remind the recipients that they matter.On any given day, there are approximately more than 10,000 people experiencing homelessness in greater Atlanta, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 2020 statistics. Common reasons for homelessness include lack of affordable housing and shelter closures, job loss and unemployment, poverty, substance abuse, and mental health issues.

In response to this ongoing challenge, Homeless at Heart began operating to show this population some love and care. Started by an 11-year-old boy whose heart met God's heart when he saw a homeless mother and child on the street, the organization has a very simple mission - show love to the homeless.   Often overlooked and forgotten, a simple act of kindness can demonstrate to these displaced people that they are “seen and valued”.

What better day to show love than on the day we celebrate love?  Thanks to Homeless at Heart, Valentine's Day has been different for thousands of homeless people.  A simple gift of love in the form of a box filled with daily essentials and a handwritten card has shown them that they are loved.

Love Boxes - Atlanta

Supplies are coming in and we need more Mites to complete this project. Please spread the word about our Project 2- Love Boxes. We need items for men, women and children. Personal care essentials and kids toys. Help us reach our goal of 500 boxes!


We need supplies!

We have almost finished gathering materials for the awesome Love Boxes. This week we received gum and card games for the little ones to enjoy. The only materials we are missing are some plush stuffed animals for the children at the shelter. We hope to add these soon.

We also started making boxes this week and have accumulated 40 boxes so far. Four weeks to go until Valentine's Day! Thank you to everyone who gave their Mite.

Kids goodies have arrived!

Almost all Valentine's boxes have been packed and are complete for delivery to the homeless shelter. We have boxes for women, boys, and girls with different personal care and other essential items. Thank you to everyone for your generosity and compassion! We're so excited to see lives touched. 

Love Boxes Packed & Ready! 

We sent our team down to Atlanta to pass out all of the boxes with Homeless at Heart, and they came back with full hearts and big smiles on their faces. The gifts were well received by more than 500 people. Thank you to everyone who Gave Their Mite to Project 2- Love Boxes!!  Check out the project celebration video to see all the highlights!
