3rd Annual “Doing the Most Good” Gala

Benefitting The Salvation Army of Metro Atlanta

Greg Clay, Deputy Chief of Staff, City of Atlanta

Atlanta’s business and community leaders came together for an inspiring evening on November 8, 2025 to support The Salvation Army of Metro Atlanta’s 3rd Annual Doing the Most Good Gala.

This year’s event took place in a piece of Atlanta history, The Foundry at Puritan Mill. The night highlighted the impact The Salvation Army has had on the unhoused in our community and looked to the future as we celebrated the expansion of our downtown Atlanta shelter and its rebranding to the Center of Hope.

The expansion will allow The Salvation Army of Metro Atlanta to serve more people and includes an addition of an Education & Workforce Development Center.

Guests enjoyed a social hour with silent auction followed by a plated dinner, program, and music and dancing. Proceeds will support the Center of Hope and other programs and services provided by The Salvation Army of Metro Atlanta to support our neighbors in need.
