If you emailed us over the last few days and did not get a reply, please resend your email. We were hacked today (Monday) around noon. Oddly those lovely folks deleted one year of emails out of our inbox. No way to recover.
If you receive an email from us that looks suspicious, please let us know. Unsure if they cloned what they needed to send things out from us.

Donation drive today (Sat)! As always... from 10 to 1. If you haven't "summer cleaned" yet, consider donating gently used household items for our families! Super low on queen/full comforters and queen sheets. Pots and pans. Silverware. We help, on average, 7 families per week so that's a lot of mattresses, furniture and so much more. Yes, we list most needed, but we need just about everything that we offer all the time! Feel free to check in to ask about the latest and greatest, especially if you plan to shop. Email [email protected] for our address.
(oh, and we have six other programs so lots always going on!)

(update - we might be ok for today, not sure quite yet!) Today, Aug 15, we most likely will need some volunteers to deliver to clients so if you have some time between 11:30 and 2:30, let us know via email! That is the best way to reach us especially on a Saturday when getting back to Facebook is not always top of mind. If you can't help today, but may want to another Saturday, we'd love to add you to our list.

Appreciate your support for our families.

(last minute request) Twelve furniture clients this week! Whew. Is anyone available tomorrow, Sat 8/8, to volunteer? Either with furniture delivery or at our other location, where we will be pulling household items, working on birthdays, and other tasks. If interested, please email [email protected]. (or, if you can't volunteer tomorrow but would like to help another time, email us and we'll send details)

We are running low on furniture due to all of these clients so do let us know if you have gently used to donate. Or, if you want to make a financial donation toward mattresses or furniture - or household items - that we have to buy all the time, we would welcome that.

From a client after we shared the list of household items that we offer: "I didn't even consider the number of things we needed. I try to be as humble as possible, but you all are a blessing, and this hardship has been taxing in every way. Thank you for everything you do for people."

Update on our move. The space we thought might work will not so if you have any connections to space in Marietta, not too far from where we are now, please let us know. I can send you more details if interested in helping us spread the word. Please email [email protected]. In the meantime, it's business as usual! Our work helping those in Cobb continues.

Simple Needs GA is moving! But we're still open for your donations!

As some of you know, we need to find a new home to replace our current location where we hold our Donation Drives (we will most likely combine our two locations into one when we move). We have identified one potential location, but nothing is finalized yet. If you know of available space that might work for us (close to where we are now), we'd love to hear from you. We have a detailed list of our space requirements—just email us if you'd like more information.

When the move happens (sometime in July and/or August), we'll need lots of helping hands! We'll be looking for volunteers to help pack, move, and unpack, with morning, afternoon, and evening shifts available. We don't have dates yet, but we'll share them as soon as we know.

(We'll be launching a fundraising campaign to help offset the significantly higher rent and utility costs we'll face after the move.)

In the meantime, we're still operating as usual! We will be holding our regular Donation Drive this Saturday, July 4, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (and every Saturday as usual).

Our most-needed items right now include:
• Bath towels
• Table lamps
• Full/Queen comforters
• Silverware sets
• Dish sets
• Bowls
• DVDs
• (new) Gifts for babies 0-6 months
• (new) Boxes of 10/12 markers or colored pencils (on sale now for around 50¢ at several locations)

If you have questions about our space needs, would like to help with the move, or need more information about our donation drive (including our current address), please email [email protected].

Thank you for supporting Simple Needs GA and the families we serve!

(Please share) We’ve helped so many families lately that we haven’t even had time to stop and share the numbers—but it’s been a lot! Fourteen families in the last week alone. That's the most we've ever assisted in one week.

After having a good supply for a while, we are now almost completely out of bed pillows. Pillows are currently on sale at Kohl’s (extra 25% valid through May 3), and we would be so grateful if you could pick some up for us. If you have Kohl’s Cash you don’t plan to use (at any time), we can absolutely put it to good use.

If you’re part of a church, book club, or group—this is a really easy item to do a quick drive for. Last year, we gave out over 1,000 pillows. This year, we will need even more based on what we’re seeing.

If it’s easier, financial donations are always helpful too—we’ll use them to purchase pillows (or many of our other much-needed items). Questions or need our shipping address? Email: [email protected]

Thank you for helping us keep up with the need ❤️

This The Big One pillow is built for comfort. The ultrasoft support gives you the utmost in comfort. In white.

SNGA turned 16 years old on Friday!

We’re so thankful for all of the support over the years — donations of furniture, household items, birthday or Christmas gifts, and dollars (which we stretch as much as possible). And for the amazing volunteers who show up week after week to help us do this work. We truly could not do any of this without you.

Because of your involvement, thousands of families have had beds to sleep on, furniture to make a house feel like home, and basic essentials when they needed them most. Kids were able to receive gifts on their birthdays, and Christmas could truly be Christmas in homes that otherwise would not have been able to. So many people have been impacted through our seven programs.

As we celebrate 16 years, we’re also looking ahead as the need continues. We are currently low on comforters, towels, pillows, table lamps, newborn diapers, baby wipes - and much more. (See some links in comments if you'd like to help out now.) And we always appreciate gently used, clean kitchen/bed/bath items, as well as help with furniture pickups and deliveries.

If you’ve been meaning to clean out or get involved, this is a great time. And, as always, we’re grateful for any financial support so we can purchase items when donations run low. If you have questions, or need more information on anything, please email [email protected].

Thank you for being part of what we do. Sixteen years in, and still going strong because of this community.

(please share) "I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and the Simple Needs team for helping my family during this time. We truly appreciate the support and everything you are doing to help us get settled into our home. Your kindness means a lot, and we’re very grateful for the assistance."

From a client who we have not even helped yet...

We have been SUPER busy over the last few months. If you have any gently used, clean kitchen/bed/bath items to donate, we would really love to have them. If you have a truck or can help pick up or deliver furniture (most of your time is spent driving from place to place), we would love to have you.

Below are photos of some empty or near-empty shelves. We want to be sure our clients get the basics, so when we run low, we end up buying A LOT of items. We truly appreciate any financial donations so we can purchase what we need, when we need it. (We spend our money wisely and search for the best deals, often stocking up when something is on sale — which is why Brenda's living room and a bedroom are currently storage!)

Often people ask what we need most at any given time, which we’re always happy to share:

Keep in mind, though, that we can take items we need at any time. Please consider cleaning out and donating to help our families!

Very top needed items right now include comforters (twin and full/queen), bath towels, baby items, and much more. We’re happy to send a more detailed list if you’re interested. Just email [email protected] for that list, or for the address of our (every) Saturday Donation Drives (10am–1pm).
