how you can help the APPALACHIAN CHILDREN'S CENTER:
Children's Snacks
The center sees between around 20 children per day on average and is always in need of snacks to hand out to the kids. Next time you are at the store, grab some children's snack food (fruit cups, crackers, granola bars, etc.). The center can also use paper items such as toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues. Items are being collected at King of Kings.
New Facility
The Appalachian Children's Center has has recently moved! Now located near downtown Ellijay, their new building is 4200 square feet and will allow them to serve more children and their families. However, they still need help getting the center to full potential. Please consider a donation to help complete the new facility.
