PUBLIC SERVICE COMMITTEE
Feed the Homeless Breakfast
In conjunction with Harvard's Global Month of Service, The Harvard Club of Georgia's Public Service Committee invites you to help Atlanta's homeless by serving breakfast and participating in a dialogue on homelessness in Atlanta.
We will have two speakers to share their unique perspectives. Edward Hardin, founding partner of Rogers & Hardin LLP, Co-Chairman of the Atlanta Regional Commission on Homelessness and Chairman of Gateway, LLC, a homelessness service center, will discuss current policies in place to address the homeless issue. Additionally, Austin Thornton, a homeless individual who attends the weekly breakfast at the Church, will address the group and provide insight on being homeless in Atlanta and the various inititaives in place to remedy the problem.
