He has worked with children for nearly eight years as an after school teacher as well as a lead summer camp counselor. Hunter has a BBA with a focus on management; however, after a year in the business world he realized he could not help the community in a way that he wanted to, so he got his second degree in Elementary Education and is a 5th grade teacher in Cherokee County.
Gabby Adauto
Program Assistant
Gabby started volunteering at e's Club through the KSU education department. She loved it so much that she jumped at the chance when she was offered a job. Since graduating, Gabby has graduated and is a kindergarten teacher in Cobb County.
She loves her job and loves e's Club.
Anna Matthews

Anna is currently a student at Georgia College pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Art with a minor in Music. One of her passions is serving the community, as she has been on the executive board of Gamma Sigma Sigma-the national community service sorority-for three years in a row. Her older brother is on the autism spectrum, so she has learned a lot through him and all of the e's club members. Anna hopes to graduate and return home to Acworth, GA, to work in graphic design as well as continuing her involvement with e's Club.

EHFF receives award from Mazda Drive for Good and NBC Universal
December 1, 2016
Erin’s Hope for Friends is excited to announce that we have been selected by the Mazda Drive for Good Campaign. This campaign recognizes and rewards charitable organizations doing exceptional work in their communities. “We are pleased and proud to be selected among so many wonderful groups doing good work. We will be using this award money to fund a second location sometime in early 2017, as we have over 170 kids now and can’t serve them all”
