February 2019   
A Message from our Interim CEO
- Marjorie Vaneskahian Burr -

As we near the end of February, ACO faces another month that is traditionally low in financial donations. Coming off of the holiday season, many do not think about the need NOW- those families who are struggling to pay high heating bills or simply keep food on the table or pay their rent. But I can assure you that the need is real and our need for your gifts is as well.
 
It seems as though I am always asking for your help. My ask for February is simple. Cash donations. No matter how large or small, your financial gifts make an impact right here in our communities. Today I personally am donating $100 to ACO. Can you help and match my donation this week? By donating together our impact can be huge!
