Every day, Sheltering Arms transforms the futures of 2,500 children and their families across 16 Atlanta neighborhoods, providing high-quality, affordable early education that sparks hope and unlocks potential. Through dedicated early childhood programs and comprehensive family support services, we empower working families to break free from poverty, build stability, and nurture lifelong success. Your support fuels this life-changing work, ensuring every child receives the dignity of a strong start, regardless of income or background.

Since 1888, Sheltering Arms has been a lifeline for Atlanta’s most vulnerable families, delivering measurable outcomes with proven impact. Our nationally recognized preschool programs prepare children for kindergarten, boosting school readiness by 25% and closing achievement gaps. With partnerships in our community and funding from United Way, we provide essential scholarships and subsidies, making quality early education accessible to families who need it most. Every donation helps us expand these services, reach more children, and strengthen entire communities.
