Nonprofits making a difference in Cobb
We recently asked some of the top nonprofit organizations in Cobb County to share with us how they are making a difference. Additionally, we wanted to know what volunteer opportunities were available that we could share with readers. So, if you’re looking to get more involved in the community, representatives from A.G. Rhodes, Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue, SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, Special Needs Cobb, and United Military Care would love to hear from you.
A.G. Rhodes
As one of Atlanta’s oldest nonprofit organizations and few nonprofit nursing homes in Georgia, their roots trace back to more than a century ago when Amos Giles Rhodes came to Atlanta and founded Rhodes Furniture. He donated the land and funds for A.G. Rhodes’ first location, which opened in 1904 at the corner of Boulevard and Woodward Avenue where the company’s flagship location still operates today.

Since 2004, Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue has been a beacon of hope for homeless, vulnerable, and medically fragile dogs and cats in Cobb County. Its mission is simple but powerful: save lives, provide healing, offer training, and place animals in loving forever homes. But the organization’s impact reaches far beyond rescue.

Special Needs Cobb
Since 1956, Special Needs Cobb has served adults with developmental disabilities in Cobb County, and since the late 1990s, they have maintained a growing network of group homes — 23 today. These homes aren’t institutions; they’re just that — homes. They’re in residential neighborhoods and filled with routines, joy, and care. They are often the last option for individuals who would otherwise be forgotten.
