Volunteer with Us

At Change Lives Inside Out, we believe lasting change starts from within – for both our neighbors and our city. Atlanta faces stark challenges: over 3,000 individuals experience homelessness nightly, and 1 in 6 families struggle with food insecurity. By volunteering with us, you don’t just serve meals or sort donations – you become part of a movement that provides stability, delivers hope & empowers futures.

How You Can Help

Every Action Counts – Choose Your Path to Impact

Donate Supplies

Directly support Atlanta’s most vulnerable:

Nonperishable Food: Stock community pantries (e.g., peanut butter, canned veggies, baby formula).
Clothing & Essentials: Donate gently used professional attire for job seekers or hygiene kits for unhoused neighbors.
Specialized Items: School supplies for kids or pet food for families struggling to care for their animals.

Share Skills & Knowledge

Leverage your expertise to empower others:

Pro Bono Services: Lawyers, counselors, or career coaches can mentor job-seekers at shelters.
Workshop Leaders: Teach resume writing, financial literacy, or cooking classes for low-income families.
Creative Talent: Graphic designers, photographers, or writers can amplify our mission through storytelling.

Serve Hands-On

Work directly with those in need:

Meal Service: Prep or serve meals at our partner shelters (e.g., Mercy Community Church, City of Refuge).
Community Outreach: Join street teams to connect unhoused individuals with resources in Downtown or Southside.
Event Support: Staff fundraising galas, food drives, or back-to-school fairs across Metro Atlanta.
