Health Day

Health Day 2025 is coming soon!

On Sunday, September 28th, from 2 - 5pm, we will gather for our annual Health Day at North Avenue Presbyterian Church, and we’d love for you to be part of it! At this event, we come together with our friends experiencing homelessness in Atlanta to celebrate good health and kinship as a community.

Volunteer signups are now open, and we will need plenty of medical and non-medical volunteers to make this meaningful and fun event happen. Read through the different sections below, and then sign up using the online registration form at the bottom of this page.

We believe everyone deserves a party, and for more than 15 years, Health Day has provided a welcoming space where our guests can enjoy free medical resources and have loads of fun. To see pictures from last year’s event, click here to go to our Facebook page.
