The Atlanta community rallied to support students in need at the 2nd Annual “Change Mart,” hosted by Change Church. Held on July 20th, 2024, the event provided a much-needed helping hand to families as they prepare for the upcoming school year. Partnering with The Change Foundation and local businesses, Change Church offered free backpacks stocked with essential school supplies and brand new sneakers to students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This generous initiative aimed to alleviate the financial strain on families and ensure all students have the resources they need to hit the ground running when school starts. By providing these essential supplies, Change Mart helped to bridge the gap and set Atlanta area students up for academic success.
