Imagine. Community. Differently.

About us

L’Arche Atlanta is a high-impact, grassroots community that believes that beauty is found in every person and community forms when we discover that we are interdependent and every person has gifts to contribute. L'Arche Atlanta was founded in Decatur, GA in 2012. Today, we operate two homes where adults with and without intellectual disabilities share life together. Our community events and advocacy efforts place us as a leader in creating places of belonging for people with disabilities. We'd love to get to know you! Founded by Jean Vanier in France in 1964, L’Arche communities bear witness to the reality that persons with intellectual disabilities possess inherent qualities of welcome, wonderment, spirituality, and friendship. L’Arche, “the Ark” in French, is a high-impact international federation of over 140 communities worldwide whose mission is to build community with people of all abilities and to help our society imagine the human family differently, inspiring others to similar initiatives. We do this primarily through small homes where three adults with intellectual disabilities and three assistants share life together, living in the manner of a family, trusting God and living fully engaged lives in the larger community.

  • We need a new wheelchair-accessible van. We have a temporary solution that’s helping us get by for now, but it’s not sustainable. It’s time to invest in a reliable vehicle that truly meets the needs of our community. At L'Arche Atlanta, we believe the world is made better when all people are included. Dependable transportation isn’t just about getting from one place to another—it’s about belonging, freedom, and full inclusion in community life. That’s why we’ve set a new goal: $90,000 (yes, these vans cost that much). Every dollar raised through Walk & Roll Together will go directly toward purchasing a new wheelchair-accessible van. Here’s how you can make a difference: Become a WalkStar/RollStar: You can create your own fundraising page to raise funds from your friends, family, colleagues, furry friends (all donations welcome!). https://lnkd.in/ggcmJBnr Make a Donation: Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal and directly supports the purchase of this van. https://lnkd.in/ggcmJBnr Share the Event: Spread the word! The more people who know about our cause, the greater our impact will be. https://lnkd.in/ggcmJBnr Thank you!
