We’re grateful for an incredible Day of Service made possible through our partnership with Hands on Atlanta, in support of Morehouse School of Medicine and its incoming medical students.
A special shout out to the amazing corporate volunteers from One Digital who showed up with enthusiasm, generosity, and a true spirit of service. Your time and commitment helped create a meaningful experience for future physicians preparing to serve communities across Georgia and beyond.
This is what collaboration looks like—organizations coming together to support education, service, and opportunity, together in The Same House.
We’re proud to congratulate our CEO, Rodney Bullard, on being selected—once again—for Georgia Trend’s 2026 100 Most Influential Georgians, marking the second time he has received this distinction and his 15th year being recognized among the publication’s Top 500 leaders.
Rodney’s leadership continues to shape conversations around connection, economic mobility, and shared opportunity across Georgia and beyond. His vision, integrity, and commitment to bringing people together inspire not only our partners and communities, but also our team every day.
As a staff, we are grateful to have such a thoughtful and purpose-driven leader at the helm of this work.
Congratulations, Rodney—we’re honored to walk alongside you as we continue building bridges and advancing opportunity, together in The Same House.
We also extend heartfelt congratulations to Shan Cooper, a longtime friend of The Same House, on her induction into the Georgia Trend Most Influential Hall of Fame. Shan’s leadership and impact have left an indelible mark on Georgia, and this recognition is richly deserved.
✨🎉 Happy New Year from The Same House 🎉✨
As we welcome a new year, we’re filled with gratitude for the community that showed up, worked together, and believed in what’s possible. The year ahead invites us to keep building bridges, expanding opportunity, and strengthening the connections that move us all forward.
Here’s to a new year of collaboration, shared purpose, and progress—together, in the Same House.
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful, healthy, and hopeful New Year. 💜
As we close out 2025, we also close out a quarter of a century that has reshaped how we live, work, and connect. Technology has brought us closer than ever—but economic and social gaps continue to widen, not shrink.
In this final reflection of the year, our CEO, Rodney Bullard, shares why connection without inclusion isn’t enough, what 2025 revealed about our systems, and how The Same House continues to prove that collaboration across sectors can drive real economic mobility and shared opportunity.
From Beloved Benefit to Beacon Voting to Youth Lead Georgia, this year reminded me that when we work together—across silos and differences—we can still move the needle.
I hope you’ll take a moment to read 2025-Connected in The Same House and join us in imagining what’s possible in 2026!

“Be present in all things and grateful in all things.” — Maya Angelou
This Thanksgiving, we pause with full hearts. At The Same House, we are deeply grateful for you—our readers, partners, sponsors, supporters, and the incredible communities we serve.
Your presence, your commitment, and your belief in what’s possible help us build a more connected, compassionate, and opportunity-rich world. Every act of service, every collaboration, every moment of shared purpose fuels the work we do together.
Today, we honor the power of community and the many hands and hearts that make our mission real. From our house to yours, thank you for helping us create a future where everyone has the chance to thrive!
All Hands. The Same House. Hands On Atlanta Week 2025 showed what happens when service becomes a shared heartbeat across our city.
For seven days, Atlantans came together with purpose — volunteering, connecting, and uplifting communities across the metro area. The Same House was honored to stand alongside Hands On Atlanta, our Beloved Benefit Beneficiaries, and countless neighbors and partners who made this week of impact possible.
This year reminded us of something powerful:
✨ When Atlanta unites around service, we build a more equitable, compassionate, and connected city — one act of kindness at a time.
Thank you to every volunteer, partner, and community leader who showed up with heart and helped move our collective mission forward.
Together, we’re building the Beloved Community. 💛
A huge thank-you to Rickey Smiley for bringing joy, heart, and energy to Beloved Benefit 2025—and for helping us spotlight the incredible work of our beneficiaries on his show.
We’re also thrilled that Kwame Johnson, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Atlanta, joined our CEO, Rodney Bullard, on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show to talk all things Beloved Benefit 2025.
Stay tuned—we’ll share details soon on when you can tune in to hear the full conversation!
Special shout out to @socialsavvyphotography for capturing all the laughter!!!
