Baby Gear to Donate

Sandy Springs Community Action Center is located at 1130 Hightower Trail Sandy Springs, GA 30350. The web site is http://www.ourcac.org/index.html

North Fulton Community Charities is off Alpharetta Hwy. in Roswell and is a great place to donate. They even have a drive up spot on the side of the building, and tax receipts available right there.

The Genesis Shelter is located downtown. They offer housing to homeless families with newborns/infants. I am sure that they would love clothing and/or any extra gear that you have. It is a little hard to find them, but I think if you google "Genesis Shelter Atlanta" you should find their contact info.

I agree with MUST Ministries. However, in-town, All Saints Episcopal Church (www.allsaintsatlanta.org) runs a ministry called Threads, which provides new clothing to children in need. I'd call Lori at Threads and see if she can accept what you have to offer. The website has further information.

Try MUST ministries in Marietta or check with a battered women & childrens shelter

Hi Melissa,

You could try the Atlanta Children's Shelter. Their website provides a wish list of items they'd like to receive and explains how to make your donation.

First Baptist Church in Woodstock takes donations and has a "store" where they sell things very cheap to families that need help.

MUST ministries is a good one! You can also give to one of the local churches- usually if you talk with the pastor or preacher, they will know someone personally who could use the gift. good luck.

There are some women's shelters that can always use items for the mothers that are trying to leave abusive homes. I think the one in Atl is called "My Sister's House." Also, you can call your local hospital. They sometimes have programs (or work with programs) to help new mothers that do not have the means to buy the items they will need.

Melissa,
There is an organization called Foster Care. com (it may be . org) not sure. but they would LOVE to have your new, gently used baby equipment and things.

This group helps foster parents ALL over Georgia and is the only one of its kind.

They rely only upon donations. The church I consign with donates ALL the clothing that is left over to them.

Hope this helps,

Barbara

I second the idea of the Genesis Transistional Housing program for homeless mothers of newborns and infants (located on Peachtree St. not far from the Amtrak station). I worked in homeless social services, and this would be a good program to donate to. Second, I would contact the Atlanta Women and Children's Shelter in the downtown Atlanta area (near Georgia Tech). This is a central place where most women that are in the local shelters come to in the daytime since they can't stay in the shelters during the day. But the women from Genesis probably wouldn't go there since Genesis isn't a shelter but a more long-term transitional program. Hope this helps.
