Southwest Atlanta Nonprofit Faces Eviction

November 23, 2023

A long-standing pillar of the community for 21 years, the organization is on the brink of closure.

On Nov. 21st, Eric Merriweather, the founder of the nonprofit African American Association of USA in Southwest Atlanta, urgently appealed for financial support to stave off eviction, as reported by WSBTV. Merriweather emphasized the critical timing, stating that “Today was the last day for the landlord to even get it paid before they send it to the attorney for eviction.”

With the organization, a long-standing pillar of the community for 21 years, on the brink of closure, it grapples with outstanding bills, including overdue electricity expenses.

Dedicated to providing free essentials, such as food, clothing, and hygiene supplies, the nonprofit has been a lifeline for over 21,000 families throughout its existence in Atlanta. This year alone, approximately 7,000 families benefited from its assistance.

Merriweather emphasized the critical role they play for families with limited resources, stating to WSBTV.

“They may have one paycheck coming into the household that goes toward bills per se, and they don’t have the ability to get food or personal hygiene products,” he said.

The nonprofit recently made efforts to distribute turkeys to those in need in Atlanta, however, Merriweather faces the challenge of dwindling supplies. Approximately 100 boxes containing clothing items and food remain, with a noteworthy shift in their clientele.

Merriweather shared, “We’re finding that a lot of middle-class people are coming to get food,” highlighting the widening impact of economic challenges.

The organization’s financial strain intensified post-COVID, as sponsors scaled back contributions to conserve funds. Adding to the adversity, Merriweather suffered a stroke in 2022, further impeding their ability to sustain operations. Now, the African American Association of USA urgently seeks support to the tune of $100,000.

Merriweather outlined the allocation of funds, stating, “That would help with the rent. That would help with the transportation to get the food here. That would help with the utilities.”

As the clock ticks, the organization that has been a pillar of support for the community over the last two decades stands at a crossroads, appealing for financial aid to secure its future and continue its vital mission.
