AAHS Update

March has been a great month for AAHS!
  • We've had two residents move out into permanent housing!
  • We've been able to pull up old carpet and put down laminate flooring in a resident room

  •  Most of the shelter has a fresh coat of paint

  • The common room has new couches
                                           
  • Two new residents have moved in within the last week and we're screening residents for one more open room
  • Elephant Ocean has finished their mural on our old shed
  • We've had financial counselors from the UGA Aspire Clinic come to work with residents
What we need this month:
  • Size 5 diapers - some of our new residents have little ones still in diapers!
  • 30 gallon black trash bags
We couldn't have done any of this without our wonderful donors and volunteers! Thanks so much for all that you do!

Spotlight on Volunteering!

Our new garden space has gotten a pre-spring burst of color! Thanks to Justin and Jul Sexton, owners of Elephant Ocean Sustainable Art, an old shed has become a fun and creative mural which livens up the space!
Check out the process we've gotten to see over the last few weeks!
