On working for Atlanta Habitat for Humanity Working at Atlanta Habitat allows me to further my personal mission of helping to foster equal opportunities for working families. Through our Home Smart education classes, we provide the tools for families to be successful, financially sound homeowners. They are not only buying a quality built home, but building wealth for generations to come.” Economy Jackson, Director of Family Services
"I came to work for Atlanta Habitat for Humanity because I felt the need to make a difference in people's lives. There's no better feeling than handing the keys of a house that I helped build to a grateful family." Denise Childs, Houseleader
On serving on the Board of Directors "Atlanta Habitat is one of the best investments in our community. Their stewardship of every dollar is remarkable, having been recognized with the highest rating from Charity Navigator.

President of Bixler Consulting Group
"Atlanta Habitat is all about real people making a real difference, and I wanted to be a part of that. The faith-based mission erases all color and economic lines and results in a group of people working in one accord. It basically makes each of us better people because it gives us the honor of serving others." Karen Stickney, Former Board Member, Community Volunteer
On serving on the Advisory Council "My life is enriched by my involvement with Atlanta Habitat. I care deeply about my city, so there is great satisfaction in participating in the renewal of neighborhoods where we build, and there is great satisfaction in seeing people from all parts of the city from many different backgrounds coming together to help their neighbors. Everyone involved is blessed by being a part of this ministry." Barbara Reid, Nonprofit Accounting Consultant
"I give my time to Atlanta Habitat because it works on so many levels: personal responsibility, family, community, faith. When our families buy their homes, they, Habitat, and the volunteers make a profound investment in all of these things." Alan Arnold, Former Board Secretary, Senior Attorney, Delta Air Lines, Inc.
