Message from Athens Area Homeless Shelter

From McKenzy Bailey, Volunteer Manager at the Athens Area Homeless Shelter:

As a valued volunteer of Athens Area Homeless Shelter, I would like to thank you for the support that you have given to the shelter throughout the year! Because of you, we are meeting the needs of homeless families and they are achieving success in gaining stability in employment and housing.

Reported by the Independent Sector, the estimated dollar value for volunteer time is $20.85 per hour; that means every month volunteers at the Athens Area Homeless Shelter donated approximately $4,670.40 in your time through different opportunities. For 2010, that totals to more than $56,000 in hours of service for our shelter!

The gift of your time is invaluable to our residents and their families. There is not a monetary value equal to the support that you have given to our families in their journey towards stability.

This holiday season, I send my sincere gratitude for your time and continued partnership with Athens Area Homeless Shelter.
