Drives and donations of used and new items

We invite volunteers to donated items we need and groups to hold drives. Our primary, ongoing need is for backpacks and clothing for people being released or facing deportation. Items may be shipped directly to our partner, Koinonia Farm, via our Target Registry, or dropped off at an Atlanta location.
