AFL is fighting hunger and fueling futures in our community. How? The fiber optic solutions company recently raised $1.1 million to support children in the Upstate through its annual Imagine That! giving campaign.

This initiative challenges AFL associates to “imagine a better community” and live out the company value of being community-centered. Associates can give to nonprofits of their choice and local United Way chapters. Bonus: AFL supplements all contributions with matching programs that increase the impact of each donation.

This year in South Carolina, funds will be used to help relieve childhood food insecurity through local organizations, including:

You can help take this initiative a step further. AFL is encouraging community members to connect with these organizations or explore other giving opportunities through the United Way of Greenville County to continue uplifting local kids.
