The Aidmore program is located on 141 beautiful acres in Conyers, Georgia, providing residential treatment and support services to young women and their families. But Aidmore is much more than a place to stay. The agency provides GED and traditional education; vocational opportunities; individual, group and family therapy, and the development of crucial life skills.

Graduates of the Elks Aidmore program have successfully broken decade-long patterns of crisis in the lives of their families. Some of the young women who finish the program are the first members in their families to complete high school.

Kortney started her own foundation to assist teen mothers and their babies. Sherita is serving her fourth tour of duty in Iraq. Rachel established an orphanage in her native country of Ethiopia for children with AIDS. Toya graduated from college and returned to her hometown of Albany, where she married and started a family of her own.

One former resident, now in her early 30's and working in the field of healthcare, recently wrote to us and shared her experience at Aidmore. She said, "I am a proud prior resident of Elks Aidmore. I can honestly say, to this day, Aidmore remains the one period of stability in my life. The one place I had people, other than myself, that I could rely on. I learned to trust again, mainly adults, and then myself, Aidmore is very much responsible for the person I am today."

HOW YOU CAN HELP

A new year brings innovative opportunities and new challenges. At a time when many need it most, state and federal funding for programs like Elks Aidmore is diminishing and needed services are disappearing. For the price of two mocha lattes...or two hamburger happy meals...or a single admission to a movie, you can help make the difference in the life of a child.

Elks Aidmore is initiating a new program..."Eight for Aidmore". With a recurring monthly $8 charge to your credit card, or a monthly $8 draft from your checking account, you can be an Angel for Aidmore and help us to continue serving children and their families, as we have done for over 70 years. One-half of your donation will fund current operating costs and allow for program expansion into new areas of service; the other half will be set aside for capital expenses related to the maintenance and development of the Aidmore campus.

You have many choices in selecting organizations to which you will donate your charitable dollars. We appreciate your consideration of Elks Aidmore as a possible recipient. We encourage you to learn more about us by calling us 770.483.3535 or exploring our website.
