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.
Each year, Project Giving Tree brings cheer and joy to the families we serve.
This season, there are more ways than ever to get involved. Whether you donate gift cards, sponsor a wish, purchase items from our Amazon Wish List, or host a drive, you’ll help make the holidays special for someone in need.
