The Sparrow's Nest, as represented by some of the board and the executive leadership, seems to have forgotten a really important lesson. Jesus said that the second most important command in the universe is to love our …

A great free community resource for those who need to wash clothes, get a hair cut, take a hot shower, eat, and pray. An amazing organization that’s really dedicated and supportive to the Athens community.

Seems like the place has a good report for helping the really less fortunate." Which is a God send" Most of us are less fortunate spiritually" because we have not discovered the power of prayer. Anyhow I had the awesome privilege of helping …

What an amazing place, Went in to volunteer for lunch service and was amazed at how well run and efficient the facility is run. Terry goes above and beyond to give his best to those in need.

I received info. posted on the bulletin boards. I enjoyed the gospel music and dance and stretched my body and heart to my delight. I was banded for two years, because I dusted and put a drop or two of water on a trap on an table used for devotion. I was taught at an early age. " Cleanliness is close to godliness". I know that to be true. I was spoken to by the director of program rudely and loudly. The police were called and hopefully a full report of the event is on record. I do hope those the director will handle the situation, other than a warning or a few days off. Just perhaps... justice will prevail. We shall see... Peace & Blessings

We were there for a meeting with a Loved one. He went inside for some items for himself. He seemed happy with the items and l'm happy to know that this place helps people out in need.

Good place to start off when a person get behind. Can get needed shoes and clothing starting on Monday and then every other day. At 7 a.m., there's a A.A. meeting and usually fresh coffee and donuts are served there. Can take a shower and wash clothes if needed. Nurses are availiable every once awhile. At 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the place welcomes all those who seek help.
