For more than 20 years, Dr.

Jackye Brown helped shape not only the growth of Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter, but the way we serve families. From the beginning, Jackye understood that helping a family experiencing homelessness required looking beyond the immediate crisis. Parents needed a safe place for their children while they worked but they also needed someone to understand the barriers they were facing, help them navigate resources and walk alongside them as they built a path toward stability. As part of our 40 Stories series, Jackye reflects on those early days and the philosophy that helped shape more than two decades of her leadership. 40 years. 40 stories. Building pathways and hope, one family at a time. #ACDS40 #40Stories #BuildingPathwaysBuildingHope #AtlantaChildrensDayShelter
