Tis the season to give, Atlanta! Whether you know it or not, several kids throughout Metro Atlanta are about to go through the winter months without a warm coat. But, you can change that. All you have to do is donate your gently used kids’ coats to Healthy Notions.
Saturday, November 21st, Healthy Notion non-profit children’s organization, in partnership with One Warm Coat, will have the 2nd Annual “Warm Coats for Kids” coat drive. The drive will be at Kroger Grocery Store, 3000 Old Alabama Road, Alpharetta GA 30022.
So here’s how you can get involved. Just drop off the coats you no longer need at the Kroger location on Old Alabama Road in Alpharetta GA. The winter coats can be any type and size, but the greatest need is for child-size machine-washable coats that can be easily maintained after they are distributed. Healthy Notions will distribute the coats to local childrens and womens shelters and orphanages prior to the holidays.
Last week we reached out to several local agencies to see what their need would be for this Winter. Within 24 hours we received messages from over half the agencies letting us know that YES, they were in desparate need of warm coats this year.
The coats you donate will make a huge difference in the life of a child in need.
For more information contact Healthy Notions Kids at 678.693.2008
*All donations are fully tax-deductible*

Not only will the shoes afford children in the region an opportunity to attend school with proper footwear…they will also help prevent contraction of disease through barefeet.
Healthy Notions would like to thank the Atlanta Academy family for their overwhelming support and willingness to touch the lives of children in need. Special thanks to Mrs. Ashley Stinger’s kindergarten class for taking on the shoe drive as an additional community service project for the 2008-2009 school year.

Show Love With Your Soles…USED SHOE DRIVE (Feb 21st, 2009)
Youth Groups, Community Organizations, Local Businesses and Individuals…WE NEED YOUR HELP!
During the month of February (2/1 thru 2/21), Healthy Notions, in partnership Family Outreach Ministries International is having a Used Shoe Drive to benefit children in rural Haiti and the Dominican Republic who don’t have shoes.
Without shoes, these children are not allowed to attend school and receive a proper education. By giving used shoes to these boys and girls, not only are they afforded the opportunity to go to school, but the kids can also maintain their health by protecting their feet from cuts, bruises, and life-threatening diseases and illnesses which can be contracted through the feet.
If you’d like to be a part of the “Show Love with Your Soles” Used Shoe Drive, contact Kim Whitaker @ 678.895.6843 or email us at healthynotions@gmail.com. We need volunteers to collect donations leading up to the event on 2/21 and volunteers to donate a few minutes of their time at the final event on 2/21 to help collect donations that will be dropped off.
If you need a collection barrel on site, we can provide that for you. The final event will be held on Saturday 2/21 from 9am to 4pm. We will collect used shoes at Kroger Grocery Store at the Rivermont Station Shopping Ctr., 8465 Holcomb Bridge Road, Alpharetta GA 30022 (Intersection of Barnwell and Holcomb Bridge Rd)
***DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. ALL SHOES WILL GO TO CHILDREN IN HAITI AND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC WITHOUT SHOES! ***
