Amplify My Community 2022

Amplify Decatur is an organization that uses a music festival environment to raise funds for those that are facing homelessness.

Its mission is to leverage the universal love of music to fight poverty at the local level.

Decatur Cooperative Ministry’s mission is to help families facing homelessness settle into safe, stable homes and build healthy lives filled with peace, hope, and opportunity. Founded in 1969, Decatur Cooperative Ministry (DCM) offers transitional housing, shelter, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing, and permanent supportive housing programs. DMC’s programs span the entire spectrum of currently recognized homelessness interventions. To accomplish this, DCM partners with 35 congregations from 14 denominations as well as private foundations, universities and schools, government agencies, community groups, and local businesses.

Here are a few Snapshots from the festival… This is my second one to attend. Shots of last year’s festival, I’ll post later. I did not see the first act, Mike Killeen Band but SG Goodman, War and Treaty, Son Volt, Ben Harper, and Old Crow Medicine show are shown here. But first, a few shots from Dolly Holiday and Michelle Malone.
