Mary Parker Foundation Revitalizes Communities at Junction 2800

Security industry pioneer Mary Parker, CEO of ALL N ONE Security Services, is no stranger to obstacles and is not afraid of breaking new grounds to overcome them. This forward-thinking CIC (chick-in-charge) has invested in helping to revitalize southwest Atlanta communities by purchasing Junction 2800, formerly called Campbellton Road Community Center.

The newly named development, Junction 2800, is a multi-purpose use property equipped with co-working space and will include a technology hub with construction and entrepreneurialism programs. The 30,000 square foot property sits on 7.5 acres and is also a verified vaccination site and voting poll.

Additionally, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens announced at a press conference on Monday, March 28 that Junction 2800 in conjunction with the Mary Parker Foundation will serve as one of the five newly resourced small business incubators as the city's economic arm satellite office through Invest Atlanta as part of its ATLinBusiness program.

The Southwest Atlanta communities have been in need of strengthening, particularly in light of the overwhelming gentrification happening in many often forgotten and underserved Black communities. Trailblazer Mary Parker is the first African American female millionaire to implement change in a much-needed and deserving neighborhood.

ALL N ONE Security Services is an Atlanta household name with primary markets that includes the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, parking management, security officers, systems integration, traffic control, and parking enforcement throughout the entire State of Georgia.

This visionary is imagining the next generation of Black and brown children to be a viable and educated workforce. Junction 2800 is the seed planted for their growth by laying a roadmap for success. Through Junction 2800, Parker provides camps for kids, mentorship, scholarships, back-to-school backpack drives, and fun STEAM-related activities.

Engagement, education, and entrepreneurship are on the agenda for this mission. Junction 2800 was purchased just months prior to the pandemic shutdown. Not allowing this setback to impede goals, the Mary Parker Foundation was able to offer parents a viable alternative to entertain locked-in bored, and frustrated children. Facilitators of the foundation successfully held live stream classes that included a virtual vegetable garden, technology, droning, robotics, financial literacy, and even cooking classes. One welcomed outcome was a newly developed youth entrepreneurship program.

Junction 2800 will become a staple and an integral part of strengthening the entire city of Atlanta. Monthly seminars will be held on trending topics that will impact the neighborhood while keeping them abreast of opportunities for change.

Atlanta Philanthropist Mary Parker has come a long way and has by no means completed her God-Given mission. She has decided this new journey is not to be traveled alone and is taking the City of Atlanta communities with her.
