- Provide a nutritional staple for healthy diets
Arlington Life Shelter supports homeless families and individuals with comprehensive services encompassing employment and educational aid, health care, nutrition, and transitional housing. As part of its donated-food programs, Arlington Life Shelter supplies fresh milk to its residents to prevent malnourishment and poor health. However, the shelter cannot always use donated bulk milk before it spoils in the refrigerator.
Milk represents an expensive necessity for a healthy diet, and wasting donated milk saps funding from other services. In order to avoid holding a load of donated milk that spoils, Arlington Life Shelter hopes to establish a milk budget to buy milk on an as-needed basis. With this fund, it can gradually acquire milk during the course of 10 weeks without ever storing up more than it can use, ensuring this nutritional staple will be available to supplement the diet of homeless children and adults.
Join G-Team and donate $10 to help ensure homeless families and individuals have milk as part of a healthy diet. If G-Team members raise $300, then Arlington Life Shelter can add to the milk fund to purchase milk gradually for 10 weeks. Each additional $10 raised will fund two gallons of milk. G-Team members can also sign up for a tour of the shelter in exchange for their voucher.
Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100% off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.

About (G-team) Arlington Life Shelter
Arlington Life Shelter helps local individuals and families transition from homelessness with short-term shelter and support services. For 25 years, it has provided fresh beds, clean showers, and hearty meals for anyone seeking refuge from extreme weather or a night on the street, or looking for a way to gain employment and attain long-term self-sufficiency. The shelter offers 72-hour services for people who are just looking for a place to sleep and 14-day services for people who cannot work due to disability or age. For residents looking to gain stable employment, the 9- to 12-week rehabilitative program includes educational classes for children and adults, as well as job-coaching sessions to prepare for interviews and new jobs. Volunteers teach a range of skills, including classes in computer skills, parenting, and yoga. Residents can also take part in health and social-work services and access resources to help them move into transitional housing as they work toward self-sufficiency.
