AVLF’s Standing with Our Neighbors initiative partners with Purpose Built Schools, community organizations, and other service providers to improve living conditions and housing stability for students who attend Thomasville Heights Elementary School. Our goal is to reduce enrollment turnover, enhance student attendance, and improve student health.

The key to meeting this challenge are our amazing volunteers, and we recognize that volunteerism with this innovative initiative goes far beyond the critical individual representation that is our hallmark.
