Thank you to the folks at Community Advancing Resilience and Readiness Together (CARRT) who created emergency kits to benefit AFAC families for their MLK Day of Service project! We received 130 emergency care kits, which were distributed to our home delivery clients.

With tremendous gratitude, AFAC volunteers were awarded the Excellence in Community Service Award from the Thomas Nelson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This prestigious honor was in recognition of the more than 2,000 volunteers who assist AFAC each year, providing more than 40,000 volunteer hours. AFAC's commitment to a robust volunteer program is a special point of pride for us and we're happy to accept this award on behalf of all of our fabulous volunteers!
