Thanks(for)giving!

As we turn the calendar to November, we hope you are enjoying cooler temperatures and Fall activities. Here at Bald Ridge Lodge, our young men are focusing on school and work. Before we start enjoying our holiday activities, we wanted to say thank YOU for supporting our young men. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for the generosity of our loving community!

We give thanks to YOU for being part of the Bald Ridge Lodge family and for investing in the boys' lives. We appreciate our community who help us to change lives and launch new futures. Each year, we declare November Thanks(for)giving month and take time to recognize and thank a few of the many people that play an important role in the lives of the young men we serve. We can't wait to tell their stories. (See the first below).

We will highlight our Thanks(for)giving volunteer profiles on our Facebook page, so be sure to follow us there.

Kelle and Dan Diaddigo began volunteering after learning about Bald Ridge Lodge at City Church Alpharetta. They serve in many ways. Kelle often takes boys to dentist appointments, and both are always willing to help with any requests with which the staff need help. They were a huge help getting the boys ready for school this year! 

We are so grateful for their consistency in showing up; they both are at the Lodge every week. By being present, they are teaching endless lessons to our residents – show up, keep your word, listen, and help how and where you can. In return, the Diaddigo’s have profound respect for the resilience and strength our residents demonstrate. 

Kelle and Dan, thanks(for)giving so much of yourselves to the Lodge!
