Community Partner: Southern Magnolia Charities

Southern Magnolia Charities (SMC) is a nonprofit organization based in Milton, Georgia, that was established in early 2018 to actively serve the people of north Georgia through fundraising events and donations, making philanthropic grants, and providing services or support that contribute to the health and vitality of the community. The primary fundraiser is the annual Milton Tour of Homes that began in 2016 and transferred to SMC when the tour organizers formed the nonprofit corporation.

Through dedication and commitment, SMC is honored to support other charitable organizations in the area that enhance the lives of all citizens. In the two years since its inception, SMC has donated $88,500 to local charities including Canine Assistants, Dream Weavers of Georgia, Meals by Grace, Milton First Responders Foundation, and the Will to Live Foundation.

Each year, SMC’s board of directors reviews many suggested charities and implements a process by which they select the organizations for the year’s fundraising activities. This year, in light of the current challenges created by COVID-19, the SMC board has made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Milton Tour of Homes, usually scheduled each fall.

Instead, during this time of uncertainty, SMC has chosen to respect the needs of the community, its sponsors, patrons, volunteers and homeowners while still benefiting a local charity. The board has established a GoFundMe account to raise funds for Meals by Grace, which has been deeply impacted by the pandemic due to unprecedented demand and increased need for food pantry and delivery services.

Southern Magnolia Charities will send 100% of the proceeds to Meals by Grace in order to help facilitate its mission of providing hungry families with meals, ending food insecurity, and promoting self-sufficiency. SMC welcomes donations from individuals, companies, and organizations at Charity.GoFundMe.com/o/en/campaign/fundraiser-for-meals-by-grace-by-milton-tour-of-homes.

TOGETHER, we can make a difference! For more information on Southern Magnolia Charities or to learn about the Milton Tour of Homes, please visit their websites.
