ATLANTA (May 14, 2024) — Sen. Emanuel Jones (D–Decatur) has commended the inclusion of a $50,000 allocation to the Malachi Project located in McDonough, Georgia, as part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Budget. The Malachi Project, an after-school discipleship program, has been recognized for its impactful work in shaping the lives of young people in the community.
The Malachi Project offers a comprehensive program aimed at fostering the development of children through Bible study, practical living skills, recreation, mentoring and lessons on crucial values like integrity, forgiveness and respect.
“Supporting initiatives like the Malachi Project is essential for the betterment of our community and the future of our youth,” said Sen. Emanuel Jones. “By providing a nurturing environment where young people can develop academically, socially and morally, the Malachi Project is paving the way for a brighter future for these children. I applaud the General Assembly for crafting a FY 2025 Budget that recognizes the importance of this nonprofit organization, an investment in the future of our children.”
Currently serving 50 students weekly, the Malachi Project aims to expand its impact through initiatives like Adopt-A-Student, offering individuals the opportunity to make a monthly commitment to support the program. Contributions will go towards providing meals, transportation, school supplies and more.
