"On behalf of the thousands of military families served by Operation Homefront, thank you," said Kim Scofi, chapter president of Operation Homefront. "This generous donation from Clark CARES will provide much needed emergency assistance to those who sacrifice everything for our country."

Lastly, the Lower Chattahoochee AAA connects senior citizens and care givers with an array of services and assistance to improve the quality of life of older adults.
