Kinfolk Community Partners · Atlanta
Who we are
Kinfolk Community Partners is a nonprofit organization serving older adults, retired veterans, adults with mild disabilities, and the families who care for them across metro Atlanta.
We believe that connection is care. When older neighbors have a place to belong, they stay healthier and happier. When caregivers have support, families stay strong. And when a community looks after its elders, everyone is better for it.
Our mission
Kinfolk Community Partners gives older adults, retired veterans, and adults with mild disabilities a safe, joyful place to belong, and gives their caregivers the rest, resources, and peace of mind they need.
Our vision
A community where no older adult is isolated and no caregiver carries the load alone.
Our story
Kinfolk Community Partners began with something our founder saw again and again: families stretched thin. Adult children caring for aging parents while working full time. Spouses caring for veterans who once served all of us. Older neighbors spending long, quiet days at home with no one to talk to.
Ayonna Deans spent years in property management, getting to know families in their homes and seeing these struggles up close. She knew our community needed more than services. It needed a place that felt like family. So she brought together neighbors, caregivers, and community leaders to build one.
The word ‘kinfolk’ says it all. In the South, your kinfolk are the people who show up for you. That's who we want to be for every older adult, veteran, and caregiver we serve.
What we do
Everything we do comes back to one idea: people do better when they're surrounded by people who care. Our four programs work together to support older adults, veterans, and the families who love them.
01 · Flagship program
All About Kinfolk Adult Day Center
Our adult day center offers older adults, retired veterans, and adults with mild disabilities a safe, welcoming place to spend the weekday. Participants enjoy meals, music, activities, and friendship with trained staff nearby, while their families work or rest knowing their loved one is in good hands.
02 · Kinfolk Veterans Circle
The Veterans Circle brings veterans together for fellowship, storytelling, and support. We host coffee hours, oral history projects, and Veterans Day and Memorial Day celebrations, and we help veterans connect with the benefits they've earned.
03 · Caregiver Circle
Caring for someone you love is a gift, and it's also hard work. Our Caregiver Circle offers free support groups, practical workshops on care planning and benefits, and a place to find answers and encouragement.
04 · Kinfolk Connects
Not everyone can come to us, so we go to them. Our staff and volunteers make friendly phone calls, visit homes, and host community events with churches, senior centers, and veterans organizations across metro Atlanta.

Why it matters
Metro Atlanta is growing older, and too many of our elders are growing lonely.
Source: Atlanta Regional Commission; ARC 33n data on residents aged 65 and older, trends in the 65+ population, and Atlanta’s veterans.
Loneliness isn’t just sad. Research links social isolation to poorer health, and it takes a toll on the families trying to fill the gap. Many caregivers juggle full-time jobs, children of their own, and the needs of an aging parent, often with little help.
The difference community makes

Our first-year goals
We're just getting started, and we have big hopes for our first year. We'll share our progress here and in our newsletter, so you can see the difference your support makes.
Partner with us
No single organization can care for a community alone. We partner with the people and organizations who already serve older adults and veterans, so families get the right help sooner.
We work alongside VA staff, veterans service officers, and posts like the VFW and American Legion to make sure veterans and their families get connected to community and the benefits they've earned.
Churches, senior ministries, and civic clubs are the heart of our neighborhoods. Partner with us to host events, share resources, or connect members who could use support.
Invest in your community by sponsoring a program, an event, or a scholarship that helps a family afford care. Sponsors are recognized on our website, at events, and in our newsletter.
We welcome conversations with foundations and grantmakers who share our commitment to healthy aging, caregiver support, and veterans’ well-being.
Volunteer
Our volunteers lead activities, make friendly phone calls, help at events, share a skill, or simply sit and visit. Whether you have an hour a month or a day a week, there’s a place for you.
All volunteers who work directly with participants complete a background check and orientation.
