Our 2026 Spring Party was incredible!

We had an amazing turnout on Sunday, April 26, as 270 guests and 73 volunteers gathered for a fun afternoon together! The sunshine was abundant, our hearts were filled, and it was a great time with our community.

Dozens and dozens of our guests received haircuts, manicures, showers, and foot care thanks to the hard work of our volunteers in those areas. You could see the pride and gratitude on the faces of our guests afterwards.

One guest, Telicia, said, “It feels so good to look and feel better again.” Another gentleman, Darius, commented after his haircut that “I always feel like a new man after a haircut.” These simple acts of kindness and service are powerful as they help restore dignity and confidence to our friends on the streets. Many others registered to vote and signed up for SNAP benefits which will have a positive impact going forward.

Our favorite moments were seeing guests and volunteers engaging with each other - playing games, eating and hanging out, praying together, kids on the bounce houses, and lots of folks dancing together. Even in the midst of the challenges they face and overcome, our friends on the margins showed up ready to participate and and have a great time.

We are grateful for our volunteers and partners for welcoming our unhoused neighbors with kindness and hospitality. This posture reflects the heart of Lazarus, and impacts lives far beyond this event. Our partners include: North Avenue Presbyterian Church, Atlanta Mission, Harriet Tubman Foot Clinic, Operation Kindness, South College, Wholesome Wave Georgia, Atlanta NAACP, Heard Entertainment, Urban Enterprises, Immanuel Anglican Church, Trinity Anglican Church, PC&E Atlanta, and Feet on the Strteet Ministries. Thank you all so much!
