SMC Community Service
Making a Difference in 2010
The Sales and Marketing Council is always seeking solutions for the new economy. One way is volunteering and supporting the following charities:
HomeAid Atlanta
Essentials for Young Lives Drive
The Sales and Marketing Council assists HomeAid Atlanta, the official charity of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, in a collection drive to help dozens of homeless mothers in metro Atlanta provide essentials such as diapers, baby wipes, baby food and formula for their babies. All essential items collected are distributed to local transitional housing facilities that care for homeless families and young children, including Decatur Cooperative Ministry, Genesis-A New Life, HomeStretch, My House, Rockdale Emergency Relief, Tapestry Youth Ministries and The Drake House. Volunteers are needed to assist with sorting items collected.
Project Playhouse
Through involvement with Project Playhouse®, Sales and Marketing Council members help make a difference in the lives of Atlanta’s temporarily homeless children, women and men. Volunteers are vital to the success of Project Playhouse®! As a volunteer at the Playhouse Village, we are involved in selling raffle tickets, helping kids with activities and greeting visitors.
Georgia Canines for Independence
Georgia Canines for Independence (GCI) is dedicated to improving the quality of life of people living with physical disabilities and other special needs. GCI provides trained service dogs to increase the independence of people with various medical conditions including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Friedrich's ataxia, Guillain-Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, spinal cord injury, stroke and seizure disorders. The Sales and Marketing Council has been involved with GCI since 2003.
