Put your high school diploma to the test …
… and offer GED tutoring for Alley’s House’s clients. Give a teen mom a couple hours a day, once or twice a week, and help her achieve a life goal. For females 21 and older, year-long mentor opportunities also are available. Alley’s House also needs childcare providers and someone to help organize the donated goods room. You also can organize a diaper drive or donate baby items such as strollers, car seats, or baby food and toddler snacks. Go to alleyshouse.org to download an application. For more, email
program.director@alleyshouse.org.
Go shopping …
… at Second Chance Treasures, to benefit homeless pets. The store is owned and operated by East Lake Pet Orphanage, a no-kill, non-profit organization that houses dozens of dogs and cats. If shopping isn’t your thing, you can also donate or volunteer at the shelter. Visit
