We welcome volunteers.

A good idea and a passion to help the lives of others are all you need.
An investment in AACF is an effective way to promote the future of the Athens area.

WE DID IT!!!

We’d like to extend our BIGGEST thank you to our Athens area community in helping us meet our goal – raising $30,000 for our Unrestricted Fund in celebration of 30 years serving the Athens area community! 🎉

We wouldn’t be able to do the impactful work and provide the meaningful support we do without all of you having our shared love and vision for our Athens area community! 💜
