The International Poverty Forum (IPF) is a dynamic “think tank” composed of the best and brightest minds dedicated to addressing global poverty. This solutions-driven forum turns ideas into action in six key focus areas: food insecurity, clothing insecurity, shelter & homelessness, education, physical & mental health, and employment & financial stability.

By disrupting the poverty ecosystem and providing essential aid, the IPF contributes to the global fight against poverty. To learn more about International Poverty Forum visit internationalpovertyforum.org.

Christmas in September is a heartwarming program by Caring For Others that brings joy and support to families in need during challenging times.

Through this initiative, we kick off the holiday season by distributing thousands of toys to area families, ensuring they can experience the warmth and togetherness of the holiday season, and that no children wake up Christmas morning without presents under the tree. Christmas in September is a time of compassion and lasting memories for families in need.

No man, woman, or child should have to go without shoes. For over a decade, the No Bare Soles program has been dedicated to providing thousands of pairs of shoes to children and families in need.

By giving away brand new shoes, we not only provide essential footwear but also raise awareness about the issue of poverty. Our volunteers assist in finding the perfect pair of shoes while gathering clothes and other supplies for their families. The annual No Bare Soles shoe distribution is just one of the ways we contribute to alleviating poverty in Metro Atlanta and around the world.

Caring For Others spearheaded the formation of a coalition of local companies called the All Hands Mission. This partnership aims to provide immediate aid, relief, and comfort to areas severely impacted by catastrophic natural disasters across the U.S. Within days of calamity striking, the Convoy of Care delivers much-needed necessities such as food, water, clothing, batteries, and personal items to affected communities.

Established in partnership with the Georgia Chapter of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, Caring For Others continues to lead the group in providing immediate aid and relief to areas severely impacted by natural disasters both internationally and across the United States.

The 1st Impression program focuses on providing new, brand name business attire
to students at Metro Atlanta colleges and universities. Recognizing that college students often face budget constraints, we aim to support their career aspirations by ensuring they have the appropriate attire for interviews and business occasions. 

The program helps students look the part as they enter the boardroom or the courtroom. By providing new clothing, we make a difference in the lives of college students, helping them reach their career goals.

The ERS Scholarship Fund, which stands for Educational Resources Support, is a
remarkable initiative by Caring For Others that aims to provide vital support to students and local schools. We recognize the importance of creating an environment where students can thrive academically without the burden of hunger. 

Through this program, we offer scholarships and resources to ensure students are able to focus on their studies and excel in their education.

Feeding Atlanta is Caring For Others’ response to the growing food insecurity crisis in our city. With 1 in 4 children in Atlanta struggling with hunger and 1 in 5 families unsure of where their next meal will come from, we are committed to making a difference.

Feeding Atlanta provides free, nutritious food and groceries to families in need. Our goal is to fight poverty and hunger in our city, ensuring that no family goes hungry. We will continue to work tirelessly to end hunger in Atlanta.
