Acts of Love, March 24, 2023
By Brent Davis
This past Friday as I arrived to work in the morning, I saw several people lining up to receive the groceries to be given out the AUHS Foundation starting at 2pm. By 2pm there was over 500 people there including children. Free groceries were given to 435 families, including a whole chicken and bags of rice. The food was supplied by Superior Grocers at a discount. They also set up a booth with popcorn and cotton candy. Ms. Thida Eam, the Foundation Coordinator noted that people were very appreciative, but that, sadly, some people had to be turned away. There were more people showing up this year than last which shows the increased need in the community. The Foundation hopes to raise more funds for next quarter’s event to meet the increased need. Many thanks to the faculty, staff, and students who volunteered!
