Thanks for Getting the Outdoor Area Fall Ready!!

Thanks a bunch to the Georgia Students for Public Administration 
who came out and transformed the outdoor part of the shelter! 

They repainted picnic tables, cleaned up the outdoor play area, fixed up the garden areas, 

all along with some regular maintenance.

Our residents are really excited to enjoy the fall weather with their upgraded outdoor area!

Paint needed at the Shelter!

AAHS has been so very fortunate in the past few months to have lots of supplies donated to help give the shelter a makeover! Inside, we've had our common area, one bedroom, and all of the hallways painted. Outside we've had a mural painted on the side of a shed and we've had a great new green space turned into a garden.  We've also had new couches and other items donated to spruce up to shelter.

In order to finish up our "makeover", we need several more gallons of paint. We have five offices and five resident bedrooms or bathrooms that will need to be painted over the next six months. If you're interested in donating specifically to help provide paint, please let us know.

If you've got questions, please email volunteer@helpathenshomeless.org or call 706-354-0423. Checks can be written to Athens Area Homeless Shelter, with "shelter paint" on the memo line, or if you're interested in purchasing paint for us, call the shelter and we will provide you with the paint information.

Thanks so much for helping AAHS make our shelter a home for our residents!
