Atlanta Healing Community Initiative

AHC CONNECT

Find local. Support local. Heal together.

CONNECT is Atlanta’s community directory of the local businesses, practitioners, and organizations that care for the whole person, from holistic health and education to food, the environment, and economic opportunity. Every time you choose one of them, more of your dollars stay in our neighborhoods.

When we spend local, we heal local

CONNECT brings neighbors and community-serving businesses together, so people find trusted help close to home and the businesses doing good work get the attention and customers they deserve.

For residents

Browse trusted local options for wellness, learning, food, jobs, and support, free and with no sign-up. Soon, AHC members will save at partner locations with a single keychain.

For local businesses

Get a free listing, reach new customers who care about community, and get featured in AHC spotlights, events, and the member discount network.

For the community

Money spent at local, mission-driven businesses circulates in our neighborhoods, creates jobs, and strengthens the people and places that care for Atlanta.
