Lydia's Place Accepts Monetary and Item Donations

Donating Items to Lydia's Place

Lydia’s Place serves primarily young adults between the ages of 17 to 24. While we are thankful for any and all donations made to our organization, in order to optimize space to better serve our students, we have specific items below that we can take, as well as items that we cannot take. Before making a donation drop-off, please ensure that your item is something that can be used by our organization!

Donating Money to Lydia's Place

Lydia’s Place also accepts monetary donations, which are fully tax deductable. 

For more information about monetary donations, visit our Giving page or learn about the Georgia Fostering Success Act
