Northwest’s Good Deed Team Celebrates the Holidays with Atlanta Inner-City Ministry (AIM)

Nearly a dozen Northwest teammates helped families served by Atlanta Inner-City Ministry (AIM) celebrate the holidays during its annual Holiday Party.

Teammates rolled up their sleeves and put their culinary skills to the test by cooking and serving “Breakfast for Dinner” to approximately 50 children and their families. The menu featured scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, fresh fruit, and a variety of drinks. In addition to cooking and serving, teammates also took on another important role: manning the cookie-decorating station, where fun and creativity were in full supply.

The fun didn’t stop there. Families enjoyed singing Christmas carols and capturing special moments with Santa. At the end of the evening, each child went home with a winter coat helping ensure they stayed warm throughout the season.

While the night was memorable for the families being served, it was just as meaningful for the teammates who volunteered their time.

“It is a genuine joy for our team to come together each year to prepare and serve breakfast for the children and families. There are always moments of laughter, especially when cooking what feels like endless amounts of bacon, but the real reward is seeing the smiles and warmth shared throughout the evening,” said Kristen Milligan, Good Deed Team Co-Director.

The Good Deed Team has proudly partnered with AIM for the past ten years, supporting children and families in the Lakewood Community. AIM is dedicated to uplifting the community by providing resources, encouragement, and opportunities that help families thrive.

Events like AIM’s Holiday Party reflect the Northwest Way in action: working together, giving back, and showing genuine care for the people and communities, we serve. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue to support such an incredible organization.
