People of Hope: Faith-Filled Stories of Neighbors Helping Neighbors, event from Catholic Charities Atlanta

People of Hope: Faith-Filled Stories of Neighbors Helping Neighbors, a one-of-a-kind, tractor-trailer-sized museum, is hitting the road and will visit Atlanta on Tuesday, August 4, and Wednesday, August 5. The museum shares professionally produced, first-person stories from Catholic Charities staff and volunteers across the country, highlighting meaningful encounters with individuals and families in need. Visitors can also explore interactive poverty-simulation experiences; U.S. and state-level poverty data visualizations; recordings of book excerpts about poverty, social isolation, bridgebuilding and community action; and a recording booth where they can share their own stories of hope. 

Last year, CCA served almost 11,000 individuals, 74% of which have low income. We provide wraparound services that empower families to achieve self-sufficiency, addressing barriers such as lack of resources, mental illness, inadequate education and unaffordable housing. Following the simulation, Catholic Charities Atlanta staff will be onsite to connect the experience of our local community by sharing how poverty affects working families throughout North Georgia. 

This free, immersive experience will be hosted by Catholic Charities Atlanta and will be free and open to the public from 1 – 5 p.m. on both days. Additional details will be announced as the tour schedule is finalized. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful and uplifting experience.
