AG Home
A shelter for troubled teenagers, AG Home was formerly known as Andrew and Grace Home. It houses teenage girls who are either juvenile delinquents that are beyond parental control or are victims of sexual or physical abuse. Some of the girls will be employed as Christmas helpers to wrap presents and sell the Watsons Christmas catalogue at $2 each. Half of the sales proceeds will go to the home. Donation boxes have also been set up in stores.
