Layaway Santa Metro Atlanta 2017

In the second year of Layaway Santa Metro Atlanta, our goal is to once again anonymously pay off store layaway accounts for some families in metro Atlanta, just before Christmas.  It is our small way of helping these families enjoy the holidays with just a little bit less stress!  We are so very thankful for your generosity last year, and are excited to do some good again this Christmas!  100% of your donation goes to help pay off store layaway account balances for needy families around the metro Atlanta area.

Though this is only our second year, this holiday giving program began five years ago in Macon, Georgia (as Layaway Santa - Middle Georgia); they raised more than $10,000 in 2016! Our first year goal was to raise $1,000 and, with your help, we exceeded it - paying off the layaway accounts of 12 families, totaling $1,185.36!  Nearly 30 donors from around Atlanta contributed and made a positive difference.
