| WELLSPRING LIVING, INC ASCAPA now supports Wellspring Living, Inc, an organization committed to serving desperate women who have suffered childhood sexual abuse and have fallen into destructive life choices. Wellspring offers a safe place where motivated women, who need a chance to start over, can begin to rebuild their lives. A 12-month program provides compassionate mentoring through a six-month residence program and six months in a transition home. The program helps women understand their true identities & apply practical teachings to re-enter society with confidence. How does ASCAPA help? We help gather clothing, accessories, furniture, collectibles, toys, household items and more from members who have been cleaning out their closets or redecorating their homes and donate everything to the Wellspring Store which is located in the Publix Shopping Center on Highway 54 in Peachtree City. Donations are tax deductible. ASCAPA also helps by providing opportunities for members to be hands-on volunteers in the Wellspring Store, which is continually in desperate need of help sorting and pricing donations, arranging displays, operating the register, cleaning up and more What a great way to participate in “Changing our World by Changing Hers” See www.wellspringliving.org for more info. |

| In the past ASCAPA has supported two local philanthropies with our time and talents: Wellspring Living, Inc and Noel November. We now support local Humane Societies with donations of food and funds raised from our periodic games nights and at our first -ever combined alum-collegiate Christmas party, we collected canned and boxed goods and donated them to the Fayette Samaritans food bank! |
| NOEL NOVEMBER Pictured above is Laura Potash, past ASCAPA president with past ASCAPA president & founder, Cele Eifert, posing with a handmade wreath ASCAPA members created and donated. For our first seven years, we participated in Noel November, which is sponsored by the Fayette County Board of Realtors. This event is a celebration of giving back to the community through a charity auction of beautifully decorated holiday trees, wreaths, table ware and other Christmas collectibles. The proceeds from this annual Noel November will benefit the Fayette Family YMCA, the Fayette Youth Protection Home, Heart of Passion (a nonprofit dedicated to the emotional support of young people with cancer), Promise Place and other worth local charities. In previous years, nearly $40,000 was raised! ASCAPA members have fun participating in Noel November through our donation of a decorated wreath. |
