The Tech Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement is promoting
community service by partnering with the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women
and Children (ADS). Throughout the summer, Tech will be hosting a
collection drive to benefit the ADS, one of our neighboring community
partners.
All families and students are encouraged to participate at their FASET session by bringing an item from the list below to donate. Collection bins will be located at the FASET Check-in table as well as in the Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement (Student Center Commons, Rm. 2211), and the Office of New Student & Sophomore Programs (Student Services Building, Suite 141). The project will culminate with an on-campus service event on Friday, August 17, 2012 where incoming students will volunteer along-side upper class students, faculty, and staff to package donated goods and assemble kits for delivery to the Shelter. For more information, contact Sarah Perkins at sarah.perkins@gatech.edu or at 404-894-1197.
The mission of the Shelter is to ease the burden of homelessness for women and children and to assist in establishing self-sufficiency by providing comprehensive education and supportive services in a manner that respects human dignity. Since its founding in 1984, ADS has served as a daytime resource center and safe refuge for homeless women and children in the Metro Atlanta area. In 2011, ADS served 3,537 women and 1,105 children for a total of 4,642 individuals.
