Milton Baseball Team Towel Drive for Red Shield Shelter
During Homecoming Week, the Milton Baseball Team will be "Doing the Most Good" for those in most need with a "new bath towel drive" for The Salvation Army's Red Shield Shelter in downtown Atlanta.  Located a block from the Aquarium, this is the only shelter in metro Atlanta where a family in need can stay together when they've lost their housing-and they are in desperate need of new towels.  Watch for more details on how you can help by bringing new bath towels to school during homecoming week-and you could win Falcons tickets for "pitching in!"
