Home
furnishings retailer, IKEA, has provided a brand new kitchen to help
renovate a local CHRIS Kids group home in metro Atlanta, just in time
for the holidays. Complete with new cabinets, appliances, dining
table, and accessories, this kitchen is equipped to take on the needs
of at-risk youth.
“The
youth at CHRIS Kids deserve a really nice kitchen which is the heart
of the home,” said Deidra Cunningham, Marketing and Public
Relations, IKEA Atlanta. “The kitchen is where most of the sharing
and bonding takes place over a meal as this is a small way we can
impact their lives through our product.”
For
many of the youth, cooking is therapeutic and having new, safe IKEA
materials in the kitchen impacts their lives. At CHRIS Kids, the
JourneyZ program consists of eight group homes located in metro
Atlanta’s Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Clayton and Douglas counties.
The children and youth that live in these homes are ages 6-18 and
currently in foster care. They have serious behavioral and/ mental
health issues. Many have experienced physical, sexual, and emotional
abuse and neglect. Many have lived in 9-10 other homes, programs, or
places before they are referred to us by a court system or state
social service agency. They are typically two or more years behind
their peers both socially and academically.
“Not only has our partnership with IKEA benefited our youth, it has benefited our community,” said Kathy Colbenson, CEO, CHRIS Kids. “By providing a brand new kitchen to our home in Gwinnett, IKEA has truly brought the holidays to CHRIS Kids.”
CHRIS
