Creating Connected Communities
Developing Young Leaders Through Service
Amy Zeide’s 1995 holiday party for children in a homeless shelter whose gifts were stolen planted the seed for Creating Connected Communities. CCC serves the Atlanta area year-round through community outreach and the teen Leadership Development Program.
In 2020, nearly 200 CCC volunteers served more than 8,000 children and families in need. While many other services were unavailable during the pandemic, “Amy’s Holiday Party Delivered” still provided holiday cheer by donating “wish list” items and basic necessities, including gifts, meals, Smile Bags and more to 2,000 children and families. And teen leaders learned they could still make a difference, albeit a bit differently.
