"Backing the Need"
⭐ In the past 4 years, we have donated 1,963 new backpacks with school supplies to local students.⭐
All school supply donations that we receive from the community are gifted to local nonprofits. The local nonprofits are already working with families in need, and know exactly who to deliver these supplies too.
Any money donated to our drive is used to purchase bulk supplies which are then also given directly to local nonprofits.

SIMPLE NEEDS OF GA
SIMPLE NEEDS OF GA
https://simpleneedsgablog.com/
Simple Needs mission is to meet the simple needs of children, people experiencing homelessness, and others in need, while inspiring our community to do the same.
While agencies focused on these vulnerable populations are doing great work, most focus on the basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and job training. SNGA seeks to “fill in the gaps” by meeting other unmet, but important, needs. It is in these simple acts—bringing a tent to a person living in the woods, or providing birthday gifts to a homeless child—that we help connect people with the services that can improve their lives.
