Our Legacy Heroes have played a special role in our journey and have helped make Hope Atlanta the organization it is today.
Since 2000, Hope Atlanta has hosted the annual Heroes for Hope gala, honoring community leaders making an impact in the fight to prevent and end homelessness.
Heroes for Hope 2025 was an incredible night. Together, we didn’t just celebrate 125 years of Hope Atlanta — we launched the next 125.
From Ms. Gloria’s powerful story to the voices of Ms. Tre, Ms. Lisa, and Mr. Jeffery, we saw what hope in action looks like: lives transformed through compassion, connection, and opportunity.
We were honored to recognize our Heroes for Hope and Legacy Heroes, whose leadership continues to shape Atlanta. Because of your generosity, we raised over $1 Million to advance Hope Atlanta’s mission and meet the challenges ahead proving that homelessness is not inevitable; it’s solvable.
