On Tuesday, April 22 community restaurants listed below will unite in joining Entree of Hope to provide much needed financial support for the work of The Ark and the Athens Area Emergency Food Bank.  Participating restaurants will donate 10% of the days gross sales.  Money raised will enable The Ark to continue to provide financial assistance for rent, utilities and prescription medicine for individuals and families in need and the Athens Area Emergency Food Bank to provide a week's worth of groceries (a value of $125) for a family of four, four times a year.

If you are unable to dine out on Tuesday, April 22 but would like to support this cause in helping those in need, you can mail a
tax-deductible contribution to
The Ark, 640A Barber Street, Athens, GA 30601

Remember it's more than a meal ...

OUR MISSION

 Interfaith Mission Statement

Building on the tradition of cooperation, The Ark - United Ministry Outreach Center, Inc. serves as an extension of the religious communities of the Athens-Clarke County area by responding to our neighbors who need our material and personal support.

Statement of Goals
The Ark provides direct financial assistance for basic needs such as rent, utilities and prescription medicine for those individuals and families who can verify a specific reason why they are unable to pay the bill themselves.  Assistance is in the form of a check written to the vendor.

The ultimate goal of The Ark is to assist our neighbors over a temporary crisis while promoting self-sufficiency.
