Clothing Closet
Everyone Deserves to Feel Dignified.
Clothing is dignity. It's a child walking into school with confidence. A parent walking into a job interview ready. Every month during our food distributions, families can shop the Clothing Closet at no cost, because no one should need a separate trip for everything else they need.
- Available monthly during food distributions
- New and gently used clothing, accessories, and household items
- No cost to families
How we help matters as much as the help itself. Every family here is treated with respect and care.
Need Clothing or Household Items?
Visit the Clothing Closet during an upcoming food distribution. Everything is available at no cost.
Legacy Building Moms
Every Mother Deserves to Be Seen, Supported, and Celebrated.
Single motherhood is one of the most demanding, most invisible roles in our community. Legacy Building Moms is a space to be seen, supported, and strengthened, a community of women investing in one another, their children, and the legacy they're building every day.
What Participants Receive Each Year
- A special gift honoring them on Mother's Day
- A sponsored family outing during the summer
- A pampering basket in the fall
- School supplies for their children
These mothers aren't defined by their circumstances. They're defined by their resilience.
Golightly Street Community Garden
Fresh Food, Grown Right Here for Our Neighbors.
Access to fresh produce shouldn't depend on your zip code. Established in 2024, the Golightly Street Community Garden is Fairburn's first, built on the belief that growing food together is one of the most powerful ways a community can invest in itself. Each harvest goes directly to neighbors near the garden and residents of The Manor, a senior apartment building in Fairburn.
- Fairburn's first community garden
- Harvest distributed to neighbors and senior residents of The Manor
- Promotes fresh food access, sustainability, and community connection
A garden is a long-term investment in a community's health. We're proud to be planting those seeds right here in Fairburn.
Backpack Buddies
Sent Home Quietly, So No One Else Has to Know.
Backpack Buddies partners directly with a local school to identify students who need extra support. Every week, 55 bags of groceries go home with them, quietly, so no one else has to know. Because a child shouldn't go hungry over the weekend just because the cafeteria is closed.
- Partners with local schools to identify students in need
- 55 bags of groceries distributed weekly
- Bags sent home discreetly, protecting each student's privacy
This is our newest program, and one of our most personal. Every bag is packed with care, and delivered without a single question asked.
Empowerment Workshops
Growth Is Possible. We Are Here to Help Make It Happen.
Margie's House hosts regular Empowerment Workshops open to the whole community, providing practical knowledge, encouragement, and resources to help individuals and families build stability and move forward with confidence.
Because having enough for today matters, having the knowledge, confidence, and tools to move forward matters too.
Topics Include
- Financial literacy and money management
- Personal development and goal setting
- Physical and mental wellness
- Spiritual growth and community support
Because stability isn't just about having enough. It's about having the confidence and tools to build a life that lasts.
Want to Attend a Workshop?
Workshops are open to the whole community.
Education Support
Every Child Deserves to Show Up Ready to Learn.
A child who walks in without the supplies they need starts the day already behind. That's not a reflection of their ability. It's a gap we can close. Every quarter, Margie's House provides school supplies to students and teachers, because learning shouldn't be limited by a lack of pencils, paper, or basic materials, and teachers shouldn't have to reach into their own pockets to equip their classrooms.
- School supplies distributed quarterly
- Supports both students and teachers
When children are equipped to learn, communities grow stronger. It really is that direct.
Holiday Programs
Every Family Deserves to Experience the Joy of the Season.
The holidays can be the hardest time of year for families already stretched thin. Margie's House makes sure no family is left out of the celebration, through Thanksgiving and Christmas programs built for exactly that.
Thanksgiving
Sixty families receive baskets filled with food and toiletries, everything needed for a holiday meal and a cared-for household.
Christmas
Two hundred children receive pajamas, underwear, socks, an outfit, and toys, so Christmas morning feels like Christmas morning.
No family should sit down to Thanksgiving without something on the table. No child should wake up on Christmas without something to open.

Looking Ahead
Our Vision for What's Next.
Nine programs. Hundreds of families. A decade of showing up. And we are just getting started. Margie's House is working toward something bigger: a permanent Community Empowerment Center where families can access food, educational resources, workforce development, financial empowerment, and supportive services, all under one roof. Right now, we serve people across multiple locations. A permanent home means more people served, more consistently, with greater capacity and deeper impact. A place where people don't just come to receive help. They come to discover what's possible.
Every dollar donated to Margie's House today is a step toward that future. You're not just supporting a program. You're helping build a permanent home for this community.
