Helping others in need, working together

Simple Needs GA

"For most of us, the likes of toiletries, towels and cleaning supplies count as “little things.” We hardly give them a second thought. For Simple Needs GA’s clients, though, these items are hugely important." Read more about CLC's involvement on Simple Needs Ga Blog:
