A YEAR IN REVIEW
Thank you for making 2024 a year of transformation and hope!
Your generosity and dedication have empowered families on their path to stability, provided vital resources, and created opportunities for lasting change. Because of you, mothers gained confidence, children thrived in our youth program, and families took steps toward a brighter future. Every donation, volunteer hour, and act of kindness made an impact. We are so grateful for your support!
The Drake House History
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. OUR PROGRAMS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY
The Drake House started in 2004 as a Leadership North Fulton class project to address the growing number of homeless women and children in the area. Community leaders gathered donations and volunteers from business and civic leaders, faith-based organizations, Fulton County, the City of Roswell and the United Way of Greater Atlanta to create a non-profit that could address the need.
The doors opened in June 2006, and the center was named The Drake House in honor of Roswell native Mary Drake, a founder of North Fulton Community Charities who advocated for those in need.
We are grateful to all of our sponsors who help us support women
and children in the North Fulton Community!
