MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Sherry Williams cried tears of joy at a Macon-Bibb Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Monday.
“We bring them to our house now, and it’s great, but when your house turns into the local community center, it’s really hard,” Williams said.
Williams is the founder of an organization called ATAP Family Services. The non-profit provides professional help, youth and family services, as well as meals to people in need.
The organization contracts with property companies to provide community service programs. ATAP previously ran out of Riverwalk Apartments in Macon, but the complex sold to another management company in 2019.
