With a heart full of gratitude, Kristy Crill, Friends, and Family invite you to join us as we celebrate five incredible years of The Dive Savannah—an organization born out of a simple desire to love and serve Savannah through hospitality and now has grown into one of the most trusted partners to first responders and the medical community in Chatham County to end homelessness for societies most vulnerable patients. Since our founding, The Dive Savannah has helped more than 500 individuals enter inpatient rehabilitation and receive critical mental health, physical, and addiction recovery services. We have also reunited over 1,000 families across the country and four international families — restoring hope, dignity, and connection where it was once lost. What makes this work even more meaningful is how it’s sustained. The Dive Savannah is not government funded. Instead, we earn the majority of our support through our weeknight meals for busy families and our catering services—allowing every act of service to be earned through excellence and directly fueled by community participation. Along the way, we have been honored with numerous awards and have broken several records—yet our greatest achievement will always be the life we live here in Savannah and lives changed and the people brought home. We invite you to celebrate with us, reflect on all that has been accomplished, and look ahead to what is to come. All are welcome! Come as you are!
