Patch employees are active volunteers in our communities, stepping away from our laptops to give back during our Give 5 days. Our next volunteer day is May 10, and we decided to give more than our time this month. We're donating $3,000 to local charities.

Patch Gives Back!

Thank you for supporting your community! By signing up to receive the Patch e-newsletter for your area, you'll be able to keep up with news and events in your community, and you're helping your favorite good cause qualify to earn a donation from Patch. As part of our effort to give back, Patch has set aside $3,000 to support good causes in our communities. All you need to do is to enter your email address, your ZIP code (so we can sign you up for the right newsletter) and the name of the nonprofit that you want to support. Yes, it's that easy! You have until 5 p.m. on May 9 to enter. And for those of you who love the legal fine print, here it is: Once a non-profit has been mentioned by 25 different Patch users during the newsletter sign-up process, Patch will donate $1.00 to that non-profit for each unique, valid email address that signs up for the Patch newsletter. For a non-profit to be eligible to receive the donation, they must be a non-political, registered 501(c)3 organization in good standing and be approved by Patch. The maximum amount that will be donated to all non-profits combined is $3,000.

It was a great success and it would not have been possible without you!

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!
