Dignity first
People know their own lives. We ask what would help, we listen, and we follow through.
Our mission
Connecting compassion, resources, and partnerships across Atlanta.
Communities In Action is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving neighborhoods throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. We meet urgent needs today while building the relationships that make long-term stability possible.
Who we are
A neighborhood organization with a metro-wide reach
We began where most community work begins: a handful of neighbors noticing that the distance between a need and the service that could meet it was too far to walk.
Today Communities In Action operates across six service pillars — food and nutrition, mental health and wellness, public health and HIV/AIDS support, youth empowerment and education, transitional housing, and rehabilitation services.
We work with clinics, congregations, schools, employers, and county agencies from Atlanta and East Point to Decatur, Marietta, and South Fulton. Our role is to make the path between a household and the right resource as short as possible.
How we work
Four commitments that shape every program
Show up consistently
Trust is built by being where we said we would be, week after week, not by one big event.
Connect, don't duplicate
Atlanta already has skilled organizations. We link neighbors to them and fill the gaps between.
Measure what matters
We track outcomes households care about: a lease signed, a diagnosis treated, a diploma earned.
Our focus
Where our work is concentrated
