If You’re Looking for a Charity in the Atlanta
Area, Make American Kidney Services Your Choice
 Whether
you decide to give to a charity in Atlanta, Johns Creek,
Stone Mountain, Decatur, or Canton, make sure that it’s
a philanthropic organization you trust. American Kidney
Services (AKS) wants you to know exactly where your generosity
is going.
Since 1981, our Atlanta area charity has
sought to lighten the financial burden of patients suffering
from kidney disease. For nearly three decades, we have
devoted ourselves to collecting used clothing and household
articles as donations
from generous Atlanta residents in order to generate proceeds
that benefit and fund the battle against kidney disease.
Since 2004, we are proud to have donated all net proceeds
to the American
Kidney Fund (AKF).
Why AKF? Below are just a few reasons why
we feel AKF is the best charity resource to win the fight
against kidney disease.
- AKF is a charity that believes in direct
financial aid for sufferers of kidney disease.
After a patient evaluation, AKF can pay for various
bills such as rent, car payments, and power bills, which
leaves patients the funds they need to pay for treatment
and dialysis.
- In 2009, AKF raised over $150 million
for treatment-related financial assistance.
- In 2008, 96 cents of every dollar raised
went directly to programs and services focused on direct
monetary support, education, and prevention of kidney
disease.
- For 8 consecutive years, AKF has received
a 4-star rating from the foremost charity evaluator,
Charity Navigator, and in 2003 AKF was 1 of
10 charities on the Forbes Magazine Gold Star
charity list.
Through AKF, American Kidney Services is
the charity that can translate your unwanted household
goods and clothing donations
into the invaluable help that kidney disease sufferers
need. Contact us today to request a free, easy donation
