Michael’s First-Year Highlights

2021 marked Michael’s first year as Executive Director, and needless to say, it was quite eventful – full of quick adjustments in an effort to support low-income Atlantans during the pandemic and meet them where they were. While we are not able to come together to celebrate in person yet, we did not want to miss an opportunity to share unity to share some milestones AVLF achieved.

It was a year of unprecedented growth for us. Check out the highlights from our 2021 Annual Report.
