Without their support we would have run out of food within a month of the COVID-19 shut down. We gained new faith partners that helped us to engage communities that we had not previously worked with. Over the past year, our faith partners provided enough food and household supplies to sustain our pantry, and drastically reduced our costs for buying and transporting bulk food and household goods from the local foodbanks. Our dedication and community presence caught the eye of two faith/civic minded groups who donated brand new commercial refrigerators and freezers, that were valued at 10K per pair. To become a faith-based partner, email us at info@aas-c.org . For Group Opportunities ​ Email us at: info@aas-c.org Back to Top
