      Financial Donations
      Financial donations may be made directly to St. Anne Community Outreach, 1820 Box Road, Columbus, GA  31907 or through this one-time payment portal.


      Donations In Kind
      The way clothing and household goods are being distributed by Outreach has changed due to Covid restrictions as well as having limited volunteers available to sort donations and support the clothing room. Each month or two, an item is chosen and offered to families requesting food assistance.  For example, coats were offered in January and February and shoes are being given away in March and April.

      We just can’t manage large amounts of clothing donations like we could in the past.  To make sure families don’t go without, we have partnered with Valley Rescue Mission who will provide for free any clothing needs we can’t fulfill. 

      Below is a list of the items we plan to give out over the next couple of months.  We will be sure to add items to the list as they are needed.
