Sharing Excess Goods with Other Charities<\/span><\/h2>\n

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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
