Share the Care

In the fall of 2005, EUWC began a program entitled Share the Care. At each monthly meeting, members are encouraged to contribute to the designated charitable organization. Food banks, women's shelters, Children's Health facilities and the indigent assistance centers are a few of the groups that EUWC has supported over the past years. Refer to the upcoming issues of the EUWC newsletter for information on how to support these groups.

Share the Care 2026 – 2027

October 27

The Nia Project is a program sponsored by Emory’s Medical School as well as the Department of Psychiatry. This important outreach project focuses on the support and education of African American women who have made a suicide attempt within the past year. They share a history of adverse childhood experiences and/or intimate partner violence. Many women do not have a home. One of the greatest hurdles for women getting the help they need is the cost of transportation to Grady. Our donations address this issue by providing MARTA tokens and parking payments.

Atlanta CASA (court appointed special advocates) is an organization that attends to the needs of Fulton County children in foster care situations. They recruit and train community members to become effective and empathetic volunteer advocates for children living in foster care situations. Assigned by the Juvenile Court Judge, advocates contribute to the well-being and growth of the children assigned to them. From time to time, the Judge will request feedback from the advocate and appreciates recommendations. The staff of CASA educate and support the valuable volunteers. Our donations help ensure a meaningful holiday for the children and teens. In past years, we have donated small suitcases with wheels (which has since grown into a national program) and purchased gifts requested on children’s wish lists. Additionally, we have given randomly selected gifts we thought the children and teens would enjoy, many of which were ordered through Amazon and delivered directly to CASA’s office.

The Carlos Museum currently supports Title One schools by offering tours for children. Students are given free admission to the Museum. However, transportation is necessary and the use of a bus can cost as much as $300. Our contributions help support this expense.

Snack In A Backpack is supported by the Glenn Memorial Church. It addresses children who receive food at school during the week but are at risk of hunger on the weekends. This program provides food to over 400 children. Volunteers pack food, coordinate delivery, and manage inventory. Our donations support the purchase of food through the Atlanta Food Bank and fresh fruit from Your Dekalb Farmers’ Market.

New American Pathways is an organization with the mission of helping refugees and immigrants. They provide a continuum of services that supports these newer Americans on their individual pathways from arrival to citizenship. Currently support programs focus on four key milestones along the pathways: safety and stability, self-sufficiency, success and service.

Farm Workers’ Initiative supports the myriad needs of the migrant population. Students from Emory’s Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing join students from other Georgia schools and spend two weeks in Moultrie and its environs. During that time they deliver vital health care to farm workers and their children. Our donations help purchase medical supplies, hygiene items, and clothing (e.g. white socks, underwear, etc.).
