AAA members and the Austin community rallied at the last minute to raise the $35,000 needed to purchase 1,100 food packs this Thanksgiving. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's drive!
100% of all collected funds go toward the purchase of food. Anyone may donate with cash, check or credit card. Credit card donations are made on-line through our partnership with the Austin Community Foundation.
Benefiting agencies:
• Austin Housing Authority
• Rainbow Room (Texas Department of Family and Protective Services)
• SafePlace
Recipient families are determined by Austin Housing Authority and other agencies. 9,887 families have benefited since 1992. (Data for previous years not available.)
AAA volunteers are involved in 100% of the drive. Volunteers solicit all donations – cash, check and on-line credit card donations. Volunteers hand deliver all food packs around Austin on Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
