Georgia's only Day Center for the homeless.
Here is the Thrift Shop's weekly featured item http://www.augustahomeless.org/pages/thriftStore.html
MERCY MINISTRIES, INC.
Most homeless people are either temporarily homeless,
as the result of a crisis such as loss of a job, or persistently
homeless, due to chronic disabilities such as substance abuse
and mental illness. The persistently homeless present our
society with one of the most vexing, difficult and expensive
problems to solve. Their chronic disabilities render many of
them unemployable, except for occasional day labor jobs.
We are mostly an all-volunteer, faith based, non-profit, 501c3 agency.
We are annEconomic Opportunity Authority, Agency.
But Congress just cut the funding for the poor and homeless.
We are only 1 of 9 Homeless Day Centers in the country.
We are doing the best we can.
