Spend Local & Hug A Child

Turn Purchases into Donations the Easy Way!

Helping local children and Open Arms of “The Blue Ridge” is as easy as visiting any of our Local Partners in Fannin, Gilmer, Union and Towns counties, including restaurants, shops, markets, farms, stores, boutiques, cabin rental companies and outdoor adventure locations. When you present your Child Advocate Card, our Local Partners will donate up to 10% of your pre-tax purchase to Open Arms of “The Blue Ridge.”

To receive one of these valuable cards, just make a $50 donation to Open Arms. Make a donation online or call Dianne Mallernee at (706) 633-4773.

With your help, we will soon be able to establish the Open Arms of “The Blue Ridge” Residential Child Care Center to serve abused and neglected children in Fannin, Gilmer, Union and Towns counties. Our region is in dire need of such a center!
