By Kimberly Wright - Publisher of Decatur Macaroni KID and East Atlanta Macaroni KID April 5, 2024

One thing about our community is we love to come together and show each other love! The Nicholas House has plenty of opportunities for you to share your time, your experience, your donations, and more. I love The Nicholas House and all they do and can do. Please look at the following opportunities and Be The Difference. 

SAVE THE DATE and Mark Your Calendars

The Nicholas House Wants You to Come Serve Lunch and/or Dinner

The Boulevard Shelter families are provided meals by volunteers 365 days a year. Currently, they have over 25+ unfilled meal slots in April and May. Let’s fill them up ASAP. We can help by dropping off a pre-made meal, cooking a meal in our kitchen, or having food delivered. This is a great volunteer opportunity for families and small community groups! I am probably signing up for two to four dates myself personally and from Macaroni KID of East Atlanta. Be sure to read the guidelines.
