Stone Mountain – In Progress

Welcome home to the Arnold family

We had a home dedication for the Arnold family on Saturday, September 23rd. It’s truly been a privilege to partner with this family and support them with kindness and generosity. They are beyond grateful to everyone who’s helped them afford a safe, new home. We would also like to share our appreciation to all the donors, sponsors, and volunteers who made the Arnold’s dream a reality. Thank you!
