We would like to say a big thank you to Athens First Baptist Church for their work at the shelter this month! In addition to their consistent volunteering and donations in the past,
Athens First Baptist has painted and prepared a room for a new resident,
prepped our common room and JobTREC office for painting,
cleaned the common room ceilings, walls, and toys,
replaced light fixtures and fans in resident rooms,
done some electrical and plumbing work,
and replaced many worn out items in our resident rooms and bathrooms.
They've also committed to purchasing new couches, rugs, and other furniture for our common area!
What a blessing this group has been for us!
First Baptist is planning a day at the end of the month to paint the common room, JobTREC office, and other odds and ends at the shelter. These are some pretty large spaces, so that's a lot of painting! If you're a skilled painter and are interested in helping with this project, please email volunteer@helpathenshomeless.org and we'll get details to you.
