Warrick Dunn Charities Surprises Women with $5K, Furniture

Homes for the Holidays, a program of Buckhead-based Warrick Dunn Charities, helped two women move into fully furnished homes built by Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.

In a surprise to the women on Tuesday, the program presented two single mothers and their children with $5,000 of down payment assistance on their first home, complete with home furnishings and furniture from Aaron’s.

It's the 12th year Atlanta Habitat homebuyers have been recipients of the charities Home for the Holidays program. The two fully furnished homes on Dec. 17 were the 22nd and 23rd homes, in the program, with Warrick Dunn Charities making an impact on 75 individual family members in Atlanta.

The two recipients recently helped build and then purchased their first home through Atlanta Habitat for Humanity’s homeownership program. Aaron’s contributed full living and dining room sets and bedroom furniture for each of the homes, which will be a surprise to the families.

Warrick Dunn Charities works to enrich families' lives academically, economically and socially. Homes for the Holidays is dedicated to providing opportunities for economically-disadvantaged single parents and children who have demonstrated a commitment to achieve financial independence and stability.
