Our Story

Founded in 2026 in Riverdale, Georgia, Open Arms Outreach, Inc. was established as a vision inspired by faith. Our inaugural initiative focused on serving the homeless by organizing a caravan from the southside of Atlanta to the city, identifying and assisting those in need along the route. We provided essential items such as food, warm blankets, socks, hats, gloves, along with hope, conversation, and prayers.

Our second initiative aimed to support Department of Labor veterans by offering professional attire and counseling to facilitate their pursuit of gainful employment.

Recognizing that material provisions alone were insufficient, Open Arms quickly understood the importance of fostering hope and connection. This realization led to the creation of a weekend prayer and encouragement program, held every Saturday and led by volunteer ministers.

The weekend program also gave rise to a hot meal initiative, where families could gather, enjoy music, and fellowship. Subsequently, we launched a program for youth volunteers to educate them on non-bullying, compassion, and respect for differences.

In response to community needs post-pandemic, we developed programs such as Youth Against Childhood Hunger, Career Services and Training, and Senior Services.

Our communities have evolved significantly over time, and there is an urgent need to address youth violence. Our approach begins with families, teaching basic communication skills through forums that promote conversation, active listening, and reduced judgment—an essential need across our country.

Since our inception, we are proud to have served over 34,200 families in Georgia and surrounding areas, and we remain committed to continuing this vital work.
