Our Baseball program has begun our New Bath Towel Drive for the Red Shield Shelter in Atlanta. Milton High School and the Eagles Baseball program hopes to collect hundreds of towels to help the homeless in their time of most need. The Red Shield Shelter is the largest in metro Atlanta (325 beds) and has sections for veterans, women, men, and families. It is one of the few shelters in our area where a family can actually stay together in a shelter, having one less challenge to deal with in times of crisis.  

To take a virtual tour of the facility - Red Shield Shelter Tour

The new bath towels can be delivered to the marked bins in the MHS Atrium through Friday, December 9th.
