ANF: Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter celebrates 40 years of helping families

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Each month, Atlanta News First donates to an organization doing good in our community as part of our Three-Degree Guarantee program.

The amount of money we donate depends on the accuracy of our First Alert Weather Team, and our partners at Coolray match it.

This month, Atlanta News First is highlighting the Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. In those decades, the organization has served more than 5,000 families and cared for nearly 8,000 children.

A fulfilling meal, quality education and a safe place to go during the day are just a few of the things kids at Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter don’t have to stress about.
