Love With Action
Our Founder and Visionary
Shada Patterson
As a pastor, entrepreneur, and a creative, I recognize that technology has impacted our sense of connection with people. What was once created by effective communication and partnerships; can now be done in seconds by a click of a button, taking away the value of meaningful relationships in business. At Community Business ATL, we're dedicated to restoring the value of face-to-face effective communication in business. We strive to offer safe and welcoming spaces where members of all backgrounds can share, learn, and grow together. Whether you're new or experienced, we welcome you to join us. Community Business ATL where we aim to foster connections, effective communication, and business partnerships.

What We Do
Free Food Giveaway
We don't come to a community empty-handed! At every marketplace connect event, residents receive free food! No ID, forms to fill out, or lines. Our production staff will bring food boxes to your car. We will give you enough for you and your friends. Love is our driving force at CBA, and we believe that love is not what you say but it's what you do. We go the extra mile to ensure that each community we enter receives food. We have partnered with Goodwill Atlanta East, and they ensure we have a food truck on-site to serve the community. We are so thankful for connections like these that allow us to partner with them.
Food Production Crew
Our food production crew works tirelessly to ensure food boxes are prepared and ready for the community. We spend countless hours preparing these much-needed boxes for residents. We don't shy away from hard work; we believe it builds the character needed to succeed in life. We have a heart for community and people, and we won't stop working to ensure a community has what it needs to thrive.
Volunteer Opportunities
Make a difference in our community by volunteering your time and skills. We have a variety of opportunities available for members who want to get involved. We need team players who are excited to be part of something that can change lives. Each volunteer receives a certificate for their service and hours completed.
Community Resources
We connect the community with resources that make a real difference. We partner with organizations like:
* **CEO:** An organization dedicated to helping individuals with criminal records find employment opportunities.
* **Georgia Healthcare Access:** Providing free healthcare screenings.
* **CBA Career Services:** Offering valuable resources, including training, resume assistance, and employment prospects.
* ** Operation Level Up Youth Edition:** Miesha Adams, founder of Operation Level Up Leadership Youth Edition (OLUL), a nonprofit initiative dedicated to preparing young people for success in leadership, entrepreneurship, college, and the workforce.
