COVID-19 UPDATE ON DONATIONS
In an effort to reduce the risk of COVID-19 we will not be accepting any in person donations. We are so thankful for the support of our community and to everyone who has reached out wanting to help.
In order to us to continue to operate shelter services we are committed to reducing the risk of COVID-19 infections in our team and our families. This means limiting contact with others as much as possible, including in person donations. If you would like to support us please consider donating online through our ATB Cares portal where 15% of your donation will be matched. Please follow this link to donate.
