DoinGood in the Cold: Cleaning Out Your Closet For A Good Cause

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times lately: I thought I moved from up North to get away from cold weather! But down here in Atlanta, we’ve definitely been getting our share between how cold the temps have been, January’s Snowmageddon Icetacular, and a possible inch of snow about to roll in tonight. And can somebody please explain “wintry mix” to me? This strange phrase has boggled my mind for months now!
When the temps dip and visions of scarves and coats start dancing through my daydreams, my thoughts turn to those who might not have these on hand. Luckily, we have a lot of organizations here in Atlanta that help those who aren’t able to buy their own winter gear. Here are a few places around the area who are still collecting winter gear for those in need:
- Midtown Assistance Center (404 681-0470, MAC@midtownassistancectr.org) accepts donations of coats, gloves, hats, scarves for their clients.
- The good folks at Meehan’s Downtown are collecting coats for SafeHouse Outreach. In return for your coat donation, they’re giving $10 vouchers for your next meal there. Yum! They’ve had such success with their drive so far, they’ve extended it through March 1st!
- Intending to give but don’t have time to drop off? Let the folks at the Atlanta area branch of American Kidney Services pick up your coats, scarves, and gloves right from your front door!
Thanks for helping us all stay a little bit warmer, Atlanta!
