SWEEAC,Inc

It is with deep regret that we announce the closure of SWEEAC after 35 years of dedicated service, effective 12/31/2023. Serving the Atlanta communities and being a resource for families grappling with food insecurity has been a genuine honor and privilege. Unfortunately, like many nonprofits, the financial challenges have become insurmountable, particularly since our move to a new location. Meeting monthly obligations has proven difficult, making the decision to close our doors inevitable.

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who supported, donated, volunteered, and answered our calls for assistance. Your support has been invaluable, and our appreciation knows no bounds. We acknowledge the emotional nature of this decision and apologize for not being able to personally reach out to each of you by phone. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.

Thank you once again, and please rest assured that we are diligently working to transition those who have benefited from our services to other organizations that can provide assistance.

If you need immediate food assistance we encourage you to reach out to the United Way by dialing 211 or you can visit the Atlanta Community Food Bank resource page at https://www.acfb.org/get-help/

ATTENTION:
We have reached our maximum number of families to receive toys this year. We apologize to anyone who was unable to get a space. We wish we had more open spaces. Please contact 211 for a list of other organizations that might be having a Christmas Toy event.

ATENCIÓN:
Hemos alcanzado nuestro número máximo de familias para recibir juguetes este año. Pedimos disculpas a cualquiera que no haya podido conseguir un espacio este año. Ojalá tuviéramos más espacios abiertos. Comuníquese con el 211 para obtener una lista de otras organizaciones que podrían organizar un evento de juguetes navideños.

A special shoutout to our retail partners and the volunteers that pickup food each week for us to give to the families in need. Trudy Willis and the volunteers make sure each pickup is successful! Teamwork makes the dream work!
