Help knows no boundaries at AFG. Just today, AFG Program Directors Sandra and Carolyn, along with our COO, Celia, encountered a homeless woman outside of Joan's on Third in Downtown LA. They did not look away. They did what they always do: stepped into action to help a woman in crisis. Our team, along with Susie, the owner of the restaurant, took her inside, fed her, and worked hard to find her the resources she needed. She was homeless, suicidal, and a survivor of domestic violence. This is what we do, this is who we are, this is AFG. #EmpowerHer #EndDomesticViolence #DVAM2024 Photo caption: Carolyn, AFG's Director of Shelter, poses with Joan’s on Third owner, Susie, and Sandra, AFG's Director of Outreach and Education, in downtown LA.

On Sunday, we had the honor of hosting the Detroit Lions Legends (former Detroit Lions players and their wives). They generously volunteered their time to help with maintenance and beautification of our campus, and we are truly grateful for their hard work and support. As the Detroit Lions prepare for tonight's home game, we extend our heartfelt thanks and wish them the best of luck. Thank you to the Detroit Lions and their Legends for your dedication both on and off the field. Go Lions! 🦁💙 #OnePride #LionsLegends #CommunitySupport #AFG
