ACS families generously donated food and supplies this week to bless those in need in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. On Friday, October 7, members of the Varsity Boys Soccer team, along with their coach Chris Lopez, helped load a large box truck with the donations, which included over 30 cases of water bottles and nearly a dozen large bins and boxes filled with paper towels, laundry detergent, cereal, canned goods, diapers, baby wipes, and more.

The idea for the donation drive came from ACS parent Jennifer Domsic, whose parents live in Fort Myers. She reached out to Elementary Principal Gail Alford and ACS families responded swiftly to the appeal.

“We’re so grateful for the way our families responded to donate urgently needed items for those who have lost so much in the hurricane,” Alford said. The list of items needed was obtained from Samaritan’s Purse, who is actively ministering in the region.

Domsic will be driving the truck down on Sunday to Fort Myers and is partnering with several churches in that area to distribute the relief items. Thank you also to Fusion Church who responded to the appeal and also dropped off donations on Friday.
