Junior League of Athens Announces COVID-19 Grant Recipients

Junior League of Athens

The Junior League of Athens recently announced  six nonprofits that received grant money, which was allocated primarily in support of hunger relief efforts, parents, and families during the pandemic.

 

"We were able to give out a total of 5 thousand dollars to support local Athens orgs who are doing wonderful work within the community. We know that all of these organizations do vital services and I know it’s needed even more at this time, and we’re just very happy that we were able to do this and give back," says Junior League of Athens President Jennifer Register.

Recipients include the Athens Area Diaper Bank, Extra Special People, and the Athens Area Homeless Shelter. The Shifa Clinic Food Bank, Our Daily Bread Community Kitchen, and the Cancer Foundation also received funding. More information can be found at juniorleagueofathens.org.
