Our Community

AFS has always been committed to giving back to the community, looking for ways to do our part in offering support to local and global charities.  Here are some of our more recent activities.

			Holiday Giving We continued to spread holiday cheer with our annual AFS Holiday Giving challenge, collectively surpassing 2021’s total by 20%! TeamAFS was happy to provide much-needed contributions to local Chester County charities and Toys for Tots to help make the holidays better for many families.
			Adopt a Family TeamAFS is working to make the season bright! We adopted 13 families for Christmas in the Chester County area. We had a lot of fun shopping and wrapping to help make these families’ celebrations a little merrier.
			Irish Rememberence Day Honored Our own Bob Kahn took part in Irish Remembrance Day in Brussels on November 12, joining Colonel E.J. Dupont, American Military Attaché from the U.S. Embassy in laying a wreath at the Anglo-Belgian War Memorial-Place Poelaert as a representative of the Irish/Irish American Diaspora in Europe.
			Fighting Hunger in West Chester ​TeamAFS came together and raised more than $1,695 in November to help the West Chester Food Cupboard fight hunger and give hope to area families. The money raised will help restock shelves and provide fresh and nonperishable food to those in need. We agree that “…because no one should go hungry.”
			Rallying for Operation Christmas Child The TeamAFS Business Solutions Group (BSG) rallied together in November for a special cause. Members of the BSG team spent a few hours packing shoeboxes for the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child event. They put together 23 boxes full of toys, books, and clothing for delivery to children ages 2 to 4 worldwide.
