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.

If you are more interested in donating items, please see our wish list for items needed every day.  

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.
