ACE In Action!
Annual Service Project

ACE’s mission centers around being a champion for civic responsibility and equitable representation through sustained advocacy and community focused initiatives. Hands on service, community engagement, and volunteerism are also at the heart of our commitment to making a meaningful impact.

Last week, the ACE team came together for our annual service project at Feed My Starving Children, combining teamwork, fellowship, and a shared commitment to serving others.

Through the collective efforts of everyone participating in the session, 13,824 meals were packed, providing food to help feed 38 children for an entire year! What a wonderful example of how collective action can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

A big thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this annual service project a success!
