Ways to Help Friends of L'Arche Atlanta
For L'Arche to be successful in Atlanta, we rely on the larger community to be in mutual relationships with the members of L'Arche Atlanta in many ways. We need you!
Consider if you can:
- PRAY ... for those who will come to the community which includes core members, assistants and volunteers.
- SERVE ...
- Assist a committee with your expertise as we work to open our first home. See our Volunteer Opportunities (PDF). We especially need people with
- accounting backgrounds
- fundraising experience
- communications & marketing experience
- Host a fundraiser in your home where you invite several of your friends and colleagues to hear the story of L'Arche. We'll bring the slide show and provide you with an invitation template.
- Invite us to your congregation or group to share about L'Arche and the possibilities for transformation in Atlanta.
- To serve in any capacity or for more information email Laura at: info@friendsoflarcheatlanta.org.

GIVE ... become a FOUNDING DONOR
We are excited to announce that in June 2010 we acquired our first home in Decatur! While we have been given the house with very little rental cost, it is in need of some major renovations before we can invite our first core members to move in. We hope to have the house renovated and licensed by the State of Georgia by July 2012. It may be 6-12 months after that before we receive approval as a new provider from the Department of Developmental Disabilities. Thus, we have a funding gap at a time when we have the greatest need to get the house ready. You can help give the gift of a day in L'Arche. Any amount you can contribute will move us one step closer to welcoming our first core members into our first L'Arche home in Atlanta! If you'd like to designate your donation in honor or memory of someone, please email us at info@friendsoflarcheatlanta.org.
