Bethany in Athens

Donations are always needed, and our families truly appreciate them. Many love receiving gift baskets filled with basic necessities, while gift cards give families the flexibility to purchase weather-appropriate clothing, highchairs, cribs, and other essential items. Some donations must be new, while others may be gently used. Commonly requested items include beds, vehicles, and bicycles, and in some cases, we may be able to arrange pickup. Contact us to make a monetary donation to directly support an individual or family, or to donate items.
