The Rescue Repurpose Redeem program teaches and applies business strategies to address homelessness, support veterans and improve the economic empowerment of underserved communities across Georgia. The program enhances the personal success of individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness, are living with disabilities, and others with significant barriers, by providing job training, employment opportunities and a place to be successful. By providing employment options to individuals and using primarily donated materials to design and create our unique products, the Rescue Repurpose Redeem ministry RESCUES materials no longer wanted or needed, REPURPOSES these materials into distinctive quality handmade products sold locally and online, REDEEMS and enhances the value and efforts of those employed by the social enterprise. Sweetwater Mission is a non-profit charitable organization providing basic needs such as food, clothing, family services, and education opportunities, as well as its ongoing work in the Cobb and Douglas County communities to prevent hunger and homelessness. Sweetwater Missions support of RRR is a vital part of the RRRs success. Sweetwater Missions fiscal sponsorship of Rescue Repurpose Redeem allows the non-profit social enterprise to fundraise for its programs using traditional grants and crowdfunding. Volunteers provide skill training in sewing, paper crafting and other mediums to creative the lovely gift items that provide income for the artisans and operation of RRR.

Kayla Taylor, a metro-Atlanta native, grew up singing standards in the school chorus and gospel tunes in the choir. Kayla has studied voice with many different instructors, including Virginia Wheeler, Linwood Harrison, Jan Smith and Dee Knapp. Kayla says, "you learn something different from each instructor and it all works together. I LOVE LEARNING". A five-year veteran of the Georgia All-State Chorus, Kayla also appeared in productions of Vanities; Guys & Dolls; The Pirates of Penzance and South Pacific. Kayla and her business partner Steve Moore have been in bands together for 22 years. In addition to jazz and standards performed by Kayla Taylor Jazz, Kayla has performed country, gospel, R&B, classic and original rock n roll. Kayla loves the jazz and standards from the 1940s and 1950s. An original New Yorker, Steve is now settled in Atlanta. He began playing guitar at 14, after studying and playing trumpet since the age of eight. His early influences of guitarists Carlos Santana and Dicky Betts of the Allman Brothers may be responsible for the bluesy feel and heart imbedded in his jazz lines. He harbors a specific love for the jazz style that Blue Note records made famous in the late 1950's and early 1960's. His current sole influence comes not from guitar players, but rather sax players --- specifically Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins. "Studying jazz lines played by sax players instead of other guitar players forces me to uncover melodies normally hidden to guitar players because the unnatural way they lay on the guitar fingerboard", says Steve. It's all about the music!
