We are a community of beggars and are sustained by the gifts of a gracious host of earthly saints. The Open Door Community is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The Open Door provides receipts for all money, stock, and vehicle donations, and we are happy to provide receipts for item donations upon request. We receive donations at the front door of our house at 910 Ponce de Leon Ave. NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30306 on Sundays from 9 am until 4 pm, and Mondays through Thursdays from 9 am until 11 am and 2 pm until 8:30 pm. (We are closed Fridays and Saturdays and are unable to accept donations.)
