Juneteenth is commemorated each year on June 19th and marks the day the Emancipation Proclamation was read to Black African slaves in Texas in 1865. This weekend serves as an opportunity to not only celebrate black history but as a way to contribute to "black future". There is nothing more important than the future of the communities we live in.

The purpose of our Juneteenth Service Celebration event is to put words to action. It gives us at Project Help ATL the opportunity to empower volunteers and local businesses to engage our neighbors that are most vulnerable. We meet them where they are familiar to show them that they do matter, that we do care, and we aim to assist them in their situation and provide hope for the future.
