All AFL locations participated in the campaign by encouraging associates to consider contributing financially to their community. All donations were matched by AFL’s Community Outreach Program. Reflecting AFL’s core value of being Community Centered, this year’s campaign spotlighted Backpack Programs, which supply nutritious meals and snacks to children beyond regular school hours. These programs help address food insecurity during weekends, school breaks and holidays when many students who rely on school meals as their primary nutrition source might otherwise go hungry.
