“Elaine called from Assistance League about a double stroller that was not nice enough to sell in the thrift shop. I told her we had a new resident with newborn twins and a toddler. Elaine delivered the stroller that day. The new mom cleaned it up and was using it a day later when Elaine returned with a baby sling, allowing the new mom to leave the building with two children in the stroller and one in a sling. Suddenly she was able to start on her new goal of independence,”

Sharing Excess Goods with Other Charities
The Waste Not program donates items that cannot be used in our Attic Treasures thrift shop or philanthropic programs to other charities and social agencies. Donated items include clothing for children and adults, shoes, housewares, linens, baby items, toys, home health care equipment, and toiletries to help those in crisis. In the most recent year, Assistance League of Atlanta distributed excess items valued at approximately $35,000 through our Waste Not program.
