About POWER Atlanta
POWER Atlanta Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2020 and based in Atlanta’s West End. We help people and families meet immediate needs, connect with care and resources, and build skills for a more stable future.
Our work brings food, housing support, health services, financial education, and practical guidance together in one community organization. Someone may come to us with one concern and find support with other needs along the way.
Why We Started
Founded by Adrienne M. Gates, POWER Atlanta grew from direct community experience and a belief that support should be consistent, practical, and grounded in trust. We listen, help people understand their options, and stay engaged as they work toward their goals.
