AFG relies on support from our community to help bring quality, life-changing programs to the girls and young women who need it the most. We are committed to empowering those we serve throughout the agency by providing programs and resources that value each person we serve.
There are many ways to become involved and invest in our mission.
During the Holiday season, Project Giving Tree brings cheer and joy to the participants we serve. Supporters are matched with a program participant and provided a list of wishes and immediate needs.
This holiday season, we’re excited to offer multiple ways for you to give back:
- Purchase gifts (wishes)
- Host a wish drive
- Sponsor a program holiday party

For questions, please contact Christina Mulanix at cmulanix@alternativesforgirls.org.
Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to recognize someone special and/or a moment in one’s life. You can donate in honor of or in memory of someone, and we will send a letter to the person you want to recognize.
