Our Mission & Vision
Guided by faith and compassion, we're building a movement that ensures no person is forgotten
Mission
To ensure no person is forgotten by providing meals, essential resources, encouragement, and hope to Atlanta's homeless community.
Vision
To become the most recognized grassroots feeding movement in Georgia while creating sustainable pathways for community involvement and long-term support.
Meet Lady T
Lady T’s Homeless Ministry was born from a calling to love people where they are. During a visit to Nigeria, Teresa “Lady T” Hamilton witnessed the devastating effects of hunger and poverty. The experience changed her life.
When she returned home to Georgia, she expected those images to stay overseas. Instead, God opened her eyes to the same need in her own community. Families living in tents, under bridges, in shelters, and in extended-stay motels, often hidden in plain sight.
Moved by faith and compassion, Lady T left her career at DeKalb Medical to answer that call. Today, Lady T’s Homeless Ministry serves nearly 900 men, women, and children each week throughout DeKalb County and Metro Atlanta with freshly prepared meals, clothing, blankets, toiletries, and essential items.
Lady T doesn't wait for people to come to her. She goes wherever they are. She believes every person deserves a warm meal, a listening ear, and to be treated with dignity and love. She stays until everyone is fed because no one should have to wonder where their next meal will come from.
Lady T Delivers Compassion, One Stop at a Time
One woman’s calling has grown into a community of volunteers, supporters, and partners committed to sharing hope through compassionate service.
