Shop Until You Drop.

Donations help make a difference.

Help and support come to Reconnecting Families from  people right here in Cobb County to people in other countries around the globe. Donations of everyday necessities like time, money, clothing, and household items help those who are in the Family Dependency Drug Court.


Our program is thankful to have this kind of support. With these contributions of clothing, shoes, and other things like toys, families in the program are able to look through these items and find anything that they need or want. 

This closet of articles is opened after Family Dependency Treatment Court for shopping. Volunteers like Gail help families to easily go through the large selection. Gail has been volunteering with Reconnecting Families for over two years and helps with the shopping closet during FDTC days. She arrives early and places them in neatly, organized places where all of the shopping items are out for program participants to look through.


Program participant, and soon graduate of the program, Cindy, thins that the closet is very beneficial. 

"The closet has been great for me," said Cindy. When Cindy entered treatment and residency she did not have much at all. That is when she was introduced to the closet and was able to get many things that she needed. She has received items like a baby bed, DVD player, and women's clothing.

Cindy found the road to recovery in fall of 2009. With the help of support, a team, and structure Cindy has since been clean of drugs and will be finishing the program a the end of June 2o11.  Congratulations! 

Thanks again Gail for all that you do!
