Assistance League of Atlanta offers a way to connect and contribute

by Jordana Klein

How can 275 member volunteers, the majority of whom are retired women, help more than 57,000 men, women and children in one year? Through hard work, a generous spirit and a desire to help others, that’s how.

Assistance League of Atlanta, an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization, helps those in need to rebuild their lives and become more self-sufficient through a network of more than 250 community partners.

It all starts with the Attic Treasures Thrift Shop, located in Chamblee. The sale of donated clothing and household goods from the shop generates most of the revenue for the organization’s philanthropic programs. The members keep the store stocked with attractive, gentlyused merchandise, and their loyal customers keep coming back.
