Support Families

Learn about our response during the COVID-19 crisis.

Volunteers from the Athens community provide an evening meal for AAHS families 365 days per year. Whether you’re seeking a team building activity for your company, a mission activity for your faith community, or just the chance to give back – providing a meal is a meaningful way to respond to homelessness. Currently your donation will provide for 6 moms and 12 children and there is an orange allergy.	Join us Tuesdays from 5-7pm at our ARCH Village housing site and Thursdays from 5:30-7pm at our Barber Street Emergency shelter to spend time with kids at our weekly Kids Group! This gives kids a chance to get outside and play while parents can get much needed rest. If you’re interested in this opportunity, sign up by clicking here. Thanks for understanding that we ask for only 5 volunteers for each day available. *Please sign up for each individual session you plan to attend.	Maintenance on an old building can be costly. If your group or business is interested in donating plumbing, construction and repair, lawn maintenance, or any other facility-related service, contact us at rblankenship@helpathenshomeless.org or call 706-354-0423.

Partner with a group to meet a big need of the shelter and know your donation goes a long way to help families in our community!
