Our Annual Gala
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
Paris. Tuscany. Rio. Kenya.
For one unforgettable evening each year, The Center for Family Resources Gala transforms into a journey around the world. But the greatest destination isn’t found on a map—it’s the hope, stability, and brighter future your support creates for children and families right here in Cobb County.
So…where will we go in 2027? We’re keeping our next destination a secret for now—but we promise it will be another unforgettable adventure! Just watch this page for updates!
Last year’s Gala raised more than $400,000, ensuring The Center for Family Resources can continue providing housing stability, food security, financial assistance, and life-changing support for families working toward a stronger future. If you missed it and would still like to support us, please click here to donate.

Annual Bridge Builder Breakfast
This year, our annual Bridge Builder Breakfast. presented by Genuine Parts Company, will be held on August 11th at Chattahoochee Technical College at the Marietta Campus. This event was an opportunity for individuals and businesses to learn more about The Center for Family Resources and to help “build a bridge” to the programs and services we offer.
Through this event, we encourage new recurring and/or one-time donors to join us in supporting our mission. These donors allow us to provide consistent resources to help families move toward permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Sign up here to become a Bridge Builder today!
