"Love Your Block projects are resident-driven projects focused on beautifying Atlanta’s neighborhoods and green spaces. Love Your Neighbor volunteer activities serve the hunger, housing and education needs of seniors, low-income families, veterans and the homeless. Love Your School volunteer activities included tutoring sessions and school-based learning opportunities as well as school beautification projects."
