Check out www.freecycle.org People list things on there that they want to get rid of, you can also post wanted adds. Hope this helps. There are many of them around, hopefully there is one in your area too.

Have you checked into federal funds for Hurricane Katrina survivors? Also, here is a list of churches in Athens, they might be able to be of some help. http://www.churchangel.com/WEBTN/athens.htm They should be able to direct you to someone who can help. Have you looked in the local phone book for Salvation Army or social services?
