Did you know that all AAFS staff complete a 40-hour domestic violence training AND a mandated reporter training? Well, it's true. And this week, 22 staff members spent their time at Moraine Valley Community College doing just that. #NotOneMore #DomesticViolenceAwareness

In 2022, there were 106 domestic violence shootings in IL. Leaving a violent relationship is risky – especially when a survivor files a court order of protection. Demand lawmakers pass Karina’s bill to protect survivors of domestic violence right now: gvpaction.com/act/karinasbil…

Our Congregate Meal Program is back in-person this week! After 3 years of serving "to-go" meals to elders in our community to ensure everyone's safety and health during the pandemic, we are excited to be back dining, socializing, and building community with our elderly clients.
