Nights are getting cooler. Have you pulled out your fleece blankets and noticed they are a bit worn or just don't fit your color scheme any more? Don't throw them out. Both DeKalb and Fulton Co. animal shelters need fleece blankets and towels. You may drop off donations at Homestead's office at 867 Greenwood Ave. between 10 AM - 2 PM, Monday through Friday.

Beltline clean-up with friends! and pets...

10/10/2016

Hurricane Matthew blew some extra help Homestead's way. Judy Henderson (left) took heed of a Charleston, SC evacuation order and headed to Atlanta to stay with her friend, and Homestead Realtors President, Susan Schlittler. And what better way to forget about rain/wind than to hit the Atlanta Beltline to participate in our bi-monthly trash pickup along the Virginia Highland section Homestead adopted. Joining Judy and Susan was Odalys (Susan's daughter) and four-legged best friends Buddy and Winnie.
