Give the gift of empowerment and support!
Supporting our moms at AAHS to shop for their own families strengthens the bond between parent and child while reinforcing their goals of budgeting and prioritizing needs. This empowers, rather than dictates to our families, how they will experience the holidays while living in a shelter.
- We welcome gift cards to Target and Walmart from $5, $10, $100, or more!
- We accept cash, check, and Paypal donations which we will designate for the gift cards fund.
- Donations towards gift card purchases can be made through our Paypal account here!
- If writing a check please note "Christmas Gift Card Drive" on the memo line.
Please donate gift cards by December 16th so that we have time to organize our shopping trip.
For questions and more information, please contact volunteer@helpathenshomeless.org, or call between 10:00am and 6:00pm Monday through Friday at (706) 354-0423.
Cash,
check, and gift card donations can be mailed or dropped off at 620
Barber Street, Athens, GA 30606. Staff is at the shelter 24 hours a day
and donations can be dropped off any time.
AAHS provides collaborative, comprehensive services to homeless individuals and families working toward sustainable independence.

Harvest for the Homeless is Tonight!
We are so excited for Harvest for the Homeless!
Join us for an evening of celebration and support at the 10th Annual Harvest for the Homeless benefiting the Athens Area Homeless Shelter. The party takes place Friday, Nov. 8 in the beautiful Classic Center Atrium starting at 7:30 p.m.
The Athens Swing Band will provide the dance music, Wild Heaven Craft Beers will host the beer tasting and the Whirling Cash Tank will challenge those who want to see how much cash they can catch. A food spread and cash bar will featured while guests peruse an array of auction items including sports memorabilia, furniture, artwork, gift baskets and more.
Even if you can't attend the event, test your luck by purchasing a raffle ticket for your chance to win dinner out in the Athens-area every week for a year — 52 dining certificates raining from fast-food to Five and Ten.
All net proceeds go to the operation of the Athens Area Homeless Shelter and its programs helping families with extended-stay shelter, training and support for independent housing in the future.
