Hi Imani, We are emergency shelter for families in the greater Athens area, but unfortunately there is a high demand for shelter resources in our area and we cannot guarantee that moving here would provide the shelter you're seeking. In order to access shelter for you and your family within your state we recommend that you call 211 for resources near you. If you are in an unsafe situation or need immediate safe shelter due to violence, please call 911 or ask your 211 operator for local domestic violence resources.

This is for women and children only but there are other shelters in Athens

Definitely a place to call. They have accommodation for many different situations

Yes. Best practice with any donations is to call between 8-6 on a weekday just to confirm need but we generally will always accept hygiene products.

Yes i think that'd be great. Go for it
