Details: The Open Door Community is a residential Christian community in its 27th year of ministry  and is housed in a Victorian home located on Atlanta's Ponce de Leon Avenue. It is staffed by approximately 25 volunteers who live in this home to respond immediately to the needs of the homeless. Services at the center include breakfast and a soup-kitchen lunch, showers and changes of clothes, a free medical clinic, leadership for worship services and meetings for the clarification of thought. 

The volunteers also provide a ministry to those in prison. This ministry makes possible monthly trips for families to visit loved ones at the Hardwick Prison in central Georgia.  The Open Door Community also advocates on behalf of the oppressed, homeless, and prisoners through non-violent protests, grassroots organizing, and the publication of its monthly newspaper.

RPC supports this mission partner by supplying sandwiches prepared by our congregation and by accepting donations of tee shirts in summer, warm clothing in winter, shoes, and personal hygiene items. Contact Bette Holoman, holomanb@gmail.com, or Russ Fawcett, isenogle@aol.com, to sign up your small group or class for sandwich making and to offer to make deliveries with Russ when he takes our food gifts and other items to the center.
