We encourage you to learn more about African American History, it will not explain all but it will help you better understand many of our struggles. 


The AACC has been working additionally on Saturday and Sunday for emergency assistance.

Covid relief can’t come fast enough!

We want you to have some information on who we helped this past weekend:

A mom needed baby formula. $28 dollar baby formula. You would be surprised how much $28 is when you have nothing.

We told their two stories to a couple of folks and they were moved. Are you?  We appreciate that you donated at Thanksgiving and Christmas would you consider a monthly donation of any amount? You can arrange this through the link below. The need is all year long.


We will get through this together as a caring Community!
