An Atlanta-based nonprofit organization and a group of Georgia Tech students are allowing Atlanta’s homeless population a better chance to have washed clothes and a refreshed feeling of pride.

Flowing with Blessings has assisted thousands of unhoused Atlanta citizens with showers and other resources since Stone Mountain resident Nicky Crawford established it in February 2022. The group offers 60 free showers and 60 loads of laundry daily on a first come first serve basis.
