Helping Hands Helping Out

The Athens Area Homeless Shelter would like to give a special thanks to these local and corporate businesses that provided monetary and tangible donations throughout the past few weeks! 


Horton's Drug Store: Clothing donation
Ramsey: Several sponges and buckets for the car wash fundraiser
Lowes on Epps Bridge: A $50 gift card which bought 70 black trash bags, a first aid kit, and laundry detergent
Lowes on Lexington Road: Some multi-surface cleaner, 2 bottles of clorox wipes, laundry detergent, and dishwasher detergent
Goodyear Tires: A $100 check
O'Reilly Auto Parts: 2 buckets, 2 bottles of car soap, 12 rags for the car wash fundraiser
Redeemer Church: They let us use their parking lot for the car wash fundraiser
Carmike Cinemas: 2 stacks of copy paper, and 3 rolls of 60 gallon trash bags


Each of these businesses contributed to raising awareness of the word homelessness, which we define as an experience occurring at some time in an individual's life--rather than categorizing them as "homeless".  
They also aided in the fundraising department through their generous donations!


It's been an awesome couple of weeks here at the shelter! Come back to our blogspot to stay up to date on even more exciting things to come!
