CAP (Confronting Atlanta's Poverty)
This service project meets with the dual purpose of becoming more aware of the causes and effects of poverty in Atlanta as well as of addressing the immediate needs of homeless men and women for food and other necessities. CAP is completely dependent upon donations of food, hygiene items, and clothing from advisory groups and other members of the Lovett community. Each Friday from 3:15-4:30 after school, anyone who wishes to come to Room 224 in the Upper School (Ms. Switzer's Room) may help prepare bagged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Each Saturday morning from 8:30-10:00 Ms. Switzer takes those who wish to go downtown to distribute food, hygiene items, blankets, and clothing to homeless men and women and local parks and vacant lots in Atlanta. Once a student has submitted a permission form, they may go anytime during the year. Recognizing that students' lives are increasingly overscheduled, participation with CAP can be as intense as fits a student's schedule:  it may mean providing food or other items, making sandwiches occasionally, going on Saturday mornings, or all of the above as fits a students' abilities to serve. This service project was founded by Lovett student, Jen Runge in 1998 and has been student lead since then. It is one of the most successful service projects at Lovett.
