Fordham Graduate Giving Back

When I called Howard Arden, for the holidays, in Georgia, recently, he told me he had retired from his job as Talent Acquisition Consultant for NOVO Health Services. He really didn’t want to hear my clever banter like, “Well, you know what they say about retirement? Good work if …”

No, he wanted to tell me about his new role, working part-time at the Atlanta Union Mission. “I didn’t want to just spend my time bowling and watching television,” said the former communications major, “I wanted to contribute and pay it back.”

Enter The Atlanta Union Mission

Hunger isn’t just a lack of food - it’s a barrier to health, stability, and hope. At Atlanta Mission, they serve thousands of meals every year to ensure "no one in our care goes hungry." 

Atlanta Union Mission opened in 1938, as a soup kitchen, during The Great Depression; Their new Shelter for Women and Children, Restoration House, opened in 2021. They are now serving Metro Atlanta’s large homeless population.

T.I., the three-time Grammy Award winning rapper, was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. 

T.I. visited the shelter on December 17, 2024. “And gave words of hope to our young residents.” Arden added. “The NFL’s Atlanta Falcons served dinner to the guests at the Atlanta Union Mission. They really made the day for the ladies and their children.”

The 7 year NFL veteran who came to the U.S. from Seoul, South Korea at the age of 12, to follow his mother who was working as a nurse. He has appeared, at Atlanta Mission,  the last three years.

But they can’t do it without YOU. Can you Help Out?  

Donate today to provide meals, shelter, and hope for those in need. Together, we can make sure no one’s plate is empty.

My hubby Tony is a volunteer at The Atlanta Mission. On yesterday, we were invited to a Special Volunteer Appreciation Cookout! It was really nice. It was sponsored by The Cabot Creamery Cooperative. I'm of the opinion that it is so very important to serve in our communities in any way possible. If you would like to support your community in a meaningful way, consider serving at The Atlanta Mission! It is a nonprofit Christian ministry that serves homeless men, women and children here in Atlanta. There are so many areas in which you can choose to volunteer. Just click on this link to find out more information: https://atlantamission.org/. We are thankful to Jim Reese and the Atlanta Mission Staff for your dedication and hard work in working to end homelessness. Thanks so much to Cabot for going out of your way, to show appreciation to those who serve. Although we don't seek rewards for volunteerism, Cabot gives you and your organization tangible gifts and rewards.
