Our Story
The Dogwood Shop is a hidden gem in the heart of Buckhead, offering a variety of Christian and secular gifts and home goods in a friendly setting at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church. Not only will you find the perfect gift, but 100% of proceeds from all sales goes to support the church's global outreach ministry.
In 2023, The Dogwood Shop contributed over $50,000 to humanitarian projects around the world:
In Guatemala, we built 2 homes with their families, who worked alongside us, to realize their dreams of having shelter that will withstand the floods that come with rainy season. We were able to provide 6 stoves so that families would have an option for in-home cooking in a safe environment. The high rate of burns and respiratory issues among children because of open flame cooking, is significant and we are committed to providing safe home spaces for children.
In Kenya, we were able provide 250 families with clean water through our water filter distribution program in partnership with Start with One Kenya. Access to clean water helps prevent chronic and life-threatening illnesses, giving people the opportunity to live a healthy life. We have seen the incredible impact that access to clean water can have on families and communities and are honored to be able to support this amazing program.
We were proud sponsors of 20 children in the Country of Georgia through our partnership with Georgia for Georgia and their Sponsor a Child program. Our efforts focus on keeping children healthy enough to remain in school by supporting school meal programs and offering clothing and medical care to a population that has been long neglected by the government of that country.
We have also provided natural disaster relief support to those in our region who have been hit with tornados and hurricanes. This work is ever growing, given the changing climate and environment and we are fortunate to be able to aid.
Thank you for supporting the Dogwood Shop and helping us spread God’s love around the world.
