Held on January 19, 2026, at Hosea Helps Headquarters, the community activation delivered free health screenings, employment readiness resources, family support services, and hot meals to hundreds of residents. Grady Health System provided free mammograms, HIV screenings, cholesterol checks, blood pressure screenings, and glucose testing, while families also received employment screenings, benefits enrollment and renewal assistance for SNAP, TANF, WIC, CAPS, and Medicare, along with rent, utility, and emergency housing screenings.
The event also featured free haircuts and hair braiding, school supplies, fresh produce boxes, family-size grocery boxes, children’s activities, raffles, and hot meals, with the first 100 families receiving special meals from Big Daddy’s Restaurant.
