AWC 4th Annual "Best Foot Forward" Community Event!
We are deeply grateful to our incredible partners and supporters who helped us reach our goal during the “Best Foot Forward” community outreach event! Thanks to your generosity, we were able to distribute much-needed items to the refugee families we serve—including over 300 pairs of shoes, diapers, hygiene kits, and so much more.
Special thanks to Samaritan’s Feet, the Decatur Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., The Welcome Co-Op, and Solid Foundation for your unwavering commitment to uplifting our community. With your continued support, we can go even further. The more we raise, the more shoes and essential items we can provide. Thank you for helping us make a meaningful impact—one step at a time!

AWC SMALE-SCALE MANUFACTURING
This initiative aligns with our mission to provide sustainable livelihoods while delivering high-quality products.
AWC has expanded its sewing program to include small-scale manufacturing. This initiative aims to provide economic opportunities within the community - (City of Clarkston, Dekalb County and Metro Atlanta). By leveraging our skilled workforce, ethical production methods, and sustainable materials, we will serve local businesses, nonprofits, and direct consumers.
• Wholesale and contract sewing for businesses and organizations.
• Ethical fashion brands seeking small-scale production and looking to make custom or sustainable products.
• Small-scale manufacturing for micro-enterprise entities that want to scale and sell online through their website, Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or other e-commerce platforms.
• We are looking forward to developing partnerships with local businesses and organizations for bulk orders.
With the right support and resources, we will create lasting economic and social impact!
