Opportunities for Children
If your child is interested in serving, but not old enough – we have options for them too! Children are encouraged to gather some of their friends or neighbors and raise some of our current in-kind needs. Once the collection is complete, we encourage parents to bring their children to drop off the items. During this time, a tour of our facility will be offered. If you have any questions regarding this process, please email, sholiday@acsatl.org.
