Will You Answer the Call?

While We Prepare for Halloween,
Some Neighbors Are Preparing for the Cold

This week, many of us are thinking about costumes, candy and Halloween plans. But across DeKalb, our neighbors living outside and in encampments are preparing for something very different: cold nights.

Frontline Response is preparing too.

\When temperatures fall, our warming center provides a safe place for our neighbors to come inside, eat a warm meal and rest out of the elements.

But opening those doors takes people.
This season, one of our first needs isn't a donation. It's neighbors willing to serve.

We are looking for seasonal team members who can help staff warming-center nights and help us welcome and feed the people who come through our doors.

If you or someone you know needs seasonal overnight work (Nov 1 - March 1) and wants that work to matter, will you answer the call?

Responding with Kindness. Help us prepare before the cold arrives.

Apply for our Warming Center Team

Frontline Response: Warming Centers

Frontline Response’s warming center is designed to provide more than a place to get out of the cold. From November 1 through March 31, the center will operate overnight from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m., offering a safe, warm environment where individuals can receive a hot evening meal, settle in for the night, and rest with consistent staff and security support.

When temperatures reach 35°F or below, transportation will also be activated. Frontline Response drivers will help connect individuals across DeKalb to the warming shelter and support transportation between designated locations as needed. If additional capacity is required, backup sites may include Peace Baptist Church, Exchange Park, and a church location in Tucker.

Preparing for the season also means making sure the center is properly equipped. Frontline Response is planning for up to 150 bunk beds with mattresses, sheets, and blankets, along with lobby furniture, kitchen equipment, bulk food supplies, disposable serving items, and cleaning and sanitation materials.

The goal is simple: when cold weather arrives, our neighbors should have access to transportation, a warm meal, a safe place to sleep, and people who are there to welcome and support them through the night.

We haven’t been quiet. We’ve been building.

We’ve Been Quiet. We’ve Also Been Building.

Gwendolyn

For some time, you may have noticed that Frontline Response has been quieter than usual.

That quiet has not meant inactivity.

Behind the scenes, we have been rebuilding, strengthening our programs and working alongside DeKalb County and community partners to prepare Frontline for a much larger role in addressing housing insecurity.

Today, we are excited to share the next chapter.

Frontline Response is entering a new season of leadership, co-led by Linsey Wisdom, Executive Director, and Christina Moss-Crawford, Senior Vice President of Operations.

Together, we bring two complementary areas of expertise to this work: the business strategy, organizational development, communications and partnerships needed to grow Frontline—and the operational systems, processes, people and accountability needed to make that growth sustainable.

And we are building for a very real need.

Frontline is positioning itself to serve more than 400 men, women and children through a growing continuum of services across DeKalb County, including:

Emergency shelter and temporary-to-permanent housing support
Warming and cooling centers during extreme weather
Fast Track transportation connecting financially insecure residents to medical treatment and day services
Safe Haven Parking for individuals and families living in their vehicles
Food, hygiene, outreach, case management and stabilization services

This is what we have been building while things seemed quiet.

Government partnerships and strong operations are only part of the answer. Frontline has always depended on a community of donors, volunteers, churches, businesses and friends who believe our neighbors deserve dignity, safety and a pathway toward stability.
If you have supported Frontline before, we want to invite you back into the story.

The need has grown. Our capacity is growing with it. And we are building an organization prepared to turn that capacity into lasting impact.

Give Today

As our CEO and National President Terry T. Tucker, Esq. shares: “Linsey and Christina bring complementary strengths that allow us to strengthen Frontline from the inside while expanding the way we serve our community. We have been doing the hard work of building the foundation for sustainable growth, and now we are asking our donors, partners and friends to build this next chapter with us.”

We haven’t been quiet. We’ve been getting ready.
And we would be honored to have you alongside us.

With gratitude,
Linsey Wisdom
Georgia Executive Director (Interim)

“Faith in action through service to others.”

Fantasy Book Deals for 08/31!

Gentleman. Ladykiller. Assassin. Spy.

King Ember has a secret weapon. His name is Killian Lord. He’s the king’s personal assassin. No one is faster with a blade, quicker on a horse, or sharper with a quip. He’s the only man in Alba allowed to kill outside the bounds of chivalry.

And nobody does it better.

In Assassin Royale, the king of the north is gathering his forces along the border. An invasion is coming—but where will he strike?

What's more, Maximilian Durandal, a dark knight in the north's service, has seized the Berghoff estate, a castle by a mountain lake. He’s searching for a powerful magical artifact—the Moonlight Shard.

Legend says whoever wields the Shard could conquer the world.

Short on manpower and time, Ember sends for his secret weapon—Killian Lord.

Lord’s mission is simple. Stop Durandal. But there’s a problem: Durandal is the greatest swordsman on the continent. He’s obsessed, indomitable, undefeated.

Then again, he has never fought Killian Lord…

Assassin Royale is a fast-paced fantasy adventure for fans of action, magic, and a hero who is both assassin and charmer. If you like epic fantasy and James Bond, you'll love Assassin Royale.

Elara Stonebloom must risk her life to save her greatest enemy: the cruel Fae who oppress her homeland.

An orphaned human healer, Elara hides in the shadow of the powerful Fae who rule her homeland with an iron fist. But her carefully controlled world unravels when a Fae Lord strides into her quiet village and presents her with a brutal choice: heal his dying soldier or watch her village burn.

Though the task is far beyond her skill, she must try to save her loved ones from suffering, but as she struggles to save the life of one of her enemies, the Fae Lord's piercing dark eyes linger on her with an intensity that makes her heart race.

Something raw and untamed thrums beneath his cold exterior, calling to her. Something, Elara knows, she should resist. Because Elara has a secret... One that, if discovered, could see her life, her home, and the fragile bond forming between them destroyed forever.
