The Agape Youth and Family Center in Atlanta wants to raise $2.5 million to mark its 25th anniversary. The Celebrating Our Past, Securing Our Future campaign “is intended to support the organization’s ongoing mission of empowering and supporting under-served families,” a press release stated. The agency’s services include in-school, after-school academic programs and summer camps. “We know if we can change the life of one child, then we are changing an entire generation,” said Agape CEO Nell Benn. “This entire year at Agape is dedicated to celebrating what we’ve accomplished over twenty-five years while never losing sight of the day-to-day impact our programs make for children and families in our community.” agapeatlanta.org
