About

Help shouldn’t stop on nights and weekends.

This is for the people surviving Atlanta. Getting help often means walking into an office, explaining your situation to a stranger, and sometimes being turned away or sent somewhere else. After 5 p.m. and on weekends, there’s often no one to ask at all.

Beyond that, vulnerable populations are stripped of dignity when they lack access to basic human needs and still expected to readily participate in society.

Sharing vital resources 24/7.

Shelton Marie puts current, reliable resources where people already are: parks, transit stations, hospitals, public buildings, and other open spaces. The goal is to provide more robust, accessible solutions.

A QR plaque placed in and around your business opens a page with what’s available right now: shelter, meals, showers, clinics, legal aid, ID help, crisis lines, hours, and what to bring. No app to download, no account to make.

We work with the city and the institutions that serve people, and with community groups already doing the work, so the information is always accurate and the dignity stays with the person asking.
