ACCA 2020-2021 COVID-19
Challenge Campaign
2020 has certainly changed our world! ACCA, Inc. has taken extraordinary
steps to maintain, and then expand, their services. There was a spring
fundraising campaign; ACCA received a large CARES Act grant from Fairfax County;
and received Paycheck Protection Program Loan from the Small Business
Administration.
Your generosity, along with these public
programs, helped ACCA serve a record-breaking 12,000
individuals and families with daycare, rent, utilities,
food or other essentials. [Ed: Last year 3,000 were served!]
As winter
approaches, ACCA faces a difficult situation. The number of COVID cases is
rising and high unemployment continues. The public programs have ended. Please
donate to ACCA’s 2020-2021 COVID-19 Challenge Campaign, and to consider
volunteering your time. Twin goals this year are to raise $150,000 in
contributions and to increase our number of volunteers by January 31, 2021. g
your time.
Please consider a personal
contribution this year! Just mail a check to ACCA, Inc., Suite 300, 7200 Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA 22003, noting “COVID Challenge Campaign” in the memo line, by January 31, 2021.
Electronic giving is easy, too – go online to https://accacares.org/how-do-i-give/
for details. There are also many ways to volunteer with ACCA; please go to https://accacares.org/volunteering/
for more information. Thank you.
Your contribution WILL make a difference!
