AFS Gives Back in the Holiday Spirit

AFS Supports Local Families in Need and Honors Our Troops

Dear Friends, Clients and Colleagues,
 
In lieu of sending holiday gifts, and in the spirit that defines this season of giving, we again supported organizations in your honor to help our communities.
This year we repeated our support of Wreaths Across America with the purchase of numerous wreaths. The mission of this wonderful organization is to Remember, Honor and Teach — REMEMBER our fallen U.S. veterans, HONOR those who serve and TEACH your children the value of freedom. ​We participated in the national wreath-laying ceremony on December 16. Our wreaths were laid at Greenwood Cemetery in Brielle where 1501 veterans buried.

Each year, I am particularly moved by the manner in which the wreaths are laid. As each veteran’s grave is honored, his or her name is spoken aloud because “A person dies twice: once when they take their final breath, and later, the last time their name is spoken”. Click here to read more about this nationwide event or, to donate to their wreath-laying efforts, visit WreathsAcrossAmerica.org.

We also supported The Backpack Crew whose mission is to provide children with food on the weekends when they do not have their school lunch to rely on. This completely private program sends home a backpack of nutritious food customized for each family in need using the same backpack every week. The empty backpack is returned to the school nurse to be sent home again the following Friday. This awesome group is affiliated with The United Methodist Church of Red Bank. To think that families in our communities do not have food to nourish them on the weekends is heartbreaking. For more information or to support The Backpack Crew, visit www.backpackcrew.com.

​
We wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and peace and good health in the New Year, and we thank you for the pleasure of doing business with you.
 
Lisa, Kathy, Scott, Dina, and Andrew
