A Labor of Love: NARI Cares and the LOVETRAIN Project

NARI Atlanta is proud to highlight a very special initiative that reflects the heart of our organization—the LOVETRAIN Project, our first collaborative effort under the NARI Cares banner. 

NARI Cares (NARI Atlanta Foundation, Inc.) is the philanthropic arm of NARI Atlanta, created to bring our industry’s talent and generosity to those in need. For our first project, we had the privilege of partnering with the incredible nonprofit Children Helping Children (CHC) to renovate their “LOVETRAIN”, an Airstream trailer they use not only to transport donated goods to those in need but it is also used as a safe, empowering space for underserved youth and families. 

Children Helping Children’s mission is rooted in love, community, and empowerment—ideals that strongly align with NARI Cares. When the opportunity came to help CHC build a new community space, our members stepped up in a big way. From providing skilled labor to donating materials, NARI members worked together to transform a raw space into something beautiful and functional. 

This project wasn’t just about construction—it was about connection. It brought together remodelers, electricians, HVAC professionals, and volunteers with one goal: to give back through their craft. The collaboration with Children Helping Children made this effort even more meaningful, showing the power of combining youth-driven activism with professional expertise. 

We’re incredibly proud of what this partnership accomplished and even more excited about what it means for the future of NARI Cares. The LOVETRAIN buildout represents what we can do when we lead with purpose and put our values into action. 

NARI Cares was built to serve—and this is just the beginning. Keep your eyes peeled for an exciting LOVETRAIN Reveal announcement coming soon!
