Funding Helps Us Help the Community
The groom wore a $14 suit and
$10 shoes from Attic Treasures.
More than 80 percent of Assistance League's funding in Atlanta comes from the sale of donated goods in our Attic Treasures Thrift Shop, located across from the post office on Antique Row in Chamblee, Georgia. Come shop with us!
Cash contributions, in-kind gifts, member dues, fundraising events and grants also provide support for Assistance League's community service programs. Assistance League consistently returns over 75 percent of its income to the local community and has no paid employees.
We appreciate each and every donation - of any size.
