Happy 20th Anniversary Advocates!!!
We’re celebrating 20 years of serving
Frederick families. This year, we’ll be making the most of our
celebration by doing some fun and meaningful activities.
From Jan Samet O'Leary,
current board member: "Over the course of my twelve-year
association with Advocates for Homeless Families, the thing that
has continually impressed me is that AFHF is a home-grown,
grassroots organization, built and maintained by the
Frederick community for the purpose of helping families
from the Frederick community who are at risk of
homelessness. We are not the local arm of a large
nationwide organization, but a local organization acting
locally, which, I believe, enhances our commitment to our
mission as well as our effectiveness."
An anniversary wish from
a former participant: "Just wanted to wish a very Happy
Anniversary to a wonderful organization from one of its former
participants. You helped me at a very critical time in my live,
and I thank you. Here's to 20 more years!!!
