🌟 Donations & Supply Drives

At The Firefly Collective, every act of giving is an act of love in motion. When you donate or host a supply drive, you help our neighbors stay safe, warm, and supported — no judgment, no strings attached. Your contributions directly provide essential harm reduction supplies, hygiene items, and comfort basics to unhoused and low-income individuals across Athens and surrounding communities.

💛 Ways to Give

1. Make a Monetary Donation

Your financial gifts help us restock high-need supplies, fund outreach efforts, and sustain our peer-led programs.

2. Host a Community Supply Drive

Hosting a drive with your workplace, school, or friend group is a hands-on way to support Firefly’s mission. We’ll make it simple with a Digital Starter Kit that includes:

  • Social media templates and flyers
  • Our current Wish List of most-needed supplies
  • A Firefly contact to coordinate drop-offs or pick-ups
