Overview
Mission
FAMILY SUPPORT (No Charge to families) Arm in Arm Outreach (AIAO) provided basic food staples for two meals per day to 60 individuals, totaling 43,800 meals for the year.

A Client Support volunteer interacted as needed to coordinate identifying and addressing one-time and long-term support needs. For 10 individuals, funds were provided for rent and utilities. Funds were provided for necessary residency permits and visas.
