Accepting the Challenge...
ABOUT US
Our Community of Faith is addressing the community issue of hunger, children-at-risk and unemployment. In 1988, this issue had become overwhelmingly evident to the pastors of churches in the Southwest area of Atlanta; and in response, the Southwest Ecumenical Emergency Assistance Center (SWEEAC) was established in order to have one location to which each church could refer all its calls for help. For nineteen years SWEEAC has endeavored to alleviate the problems of the people by providing food and household items, clothes, health and beauty products, school supplies, assistance with life skills enhancement and referrals to other agencies for services it cannot provide. SWEEAC is operated by an Executive Director and Assistant Director with the assistance of a cadre of volunteers who help with the day to day tasks of the Center. Currently twelve churches from five denominations (AME, Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian and United Methodist) support the work of the Center with volunteers and financial support. The organization was founded with one goal in mind and that was to - Accept the Challenge of Stewardship in Outreach Ministry. SWEEAC currently provides service to Georgia residents who live in Southwest Atlanta and reside in zip codes 30310, 30311, and 30331 unless otherwise referred by a partnering church.
