FIND OUT HOW TO SAVE THE ORGANIZATION BELOW!
The nonprofit organization Hosea Helps, also known as Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless, has been helping families in need for 45 years, but, soon, it may have to shut their doors. The organization has been located in a warehouse in southwest Atlanta for nearly 30 years. Their building was sold to new owners, who sent a letter saying they are doubling the rent to $8,000 a month.
“It hit me in my stomach like somebody had punched me,” Hosea Helps CEO Elisabeth Omilami said.
They can’t afford the new rent, so the organization has until July 1 to find a solution.
“I never thought it would happen to us,” Omilami said.
Hosea Helps helps serve thousands of people every year on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Easter. They also pack boxes filled with food, baby formula, and toiletries, which they hand out to hundreds of people each week.
The group has set up a GoFundMe page for the community to make donations.
