3 Meaningful Holiday Charity Events to Support in North Atlanta This November

Charity Angela Medley October 13, 2026

One of the many reasons I love living and working in North Atlanta is the incredible generosity of the people who call this community home.

Every holiday season, local nonprofits, volunteers, businesses, and neighbors come together to help families who need a little extra support. Whether it's providing warm winter coats, helping children experience the joy of Christmas, or supporting organizations that serve our community year-round, these events remind us that even small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact.

If you're looking for ways to get involved this November, here are three wonderful organizations and events that deserve your support.

North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) CoatsGiving

As temperatures begin to drop, many local families struggle to afford warm winter clothing while also preparing for the Thanksgiving season.

North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) CoatsGiving helps provide:

  • Winter coats for children and adults
  • Thanksgiving meal assistance
  • Support for families experiencing financial hardship

For many families, a warm coat is more than just clothing—it's comfort, security, and peace of mind during the colder months.

Every donation helps ensure our neighbors have the resources they need during the holiday season.

Children's Development Academy (CDA) Santa Shop

The holidays should be a magical time for every child.

The Children's Development Academy (CDA) Santa Shop helps create joyful Christmas memories by providing gifts and holiday support for children and families served by CDA.

Through generous community donations, volunteers help make sure children experience the excitement of Christmas morning regardless of their family's financial circumstances.

It's one of my favorite examples of how our community comes together to care for one another.

Friends of Roswell Police Festival of Trees

The Friends of Roswell Police Festival of Trees has become a beloved holiday tradition in our community.

This annual event brings together beautifully decorated Christmas trees, local businesses, community members, and supporters for a festive celebration that benefits important local causes.

If you're looking for a fun holiday event while also giving back, this is one you won't want to miss.

Event details will be announced soon, so keep an eye out as the holiday season approaches.

Why Community Matters

One of the things I appreciate most about North Atlanta isn't just the beautiful neighborhoods, excellent schools, or vibrant downtown areas.

It's the people.

Time and again, our community shows up to help neighbors during difficult seasons and celebrate together during joyful ones. Whether through volunteering, donating, sponsoring an event, or simply sharing opportunities with friends, every contribution helps make North Atlanta an even stronger place to live.

As someone who has called this area home for more than 30 years, I've seen firsthand how these organizations positively impact families across Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, Woodstock, Canton, and the surrounding communities.
