Welcome to ACS Community LIFT HOME

Volunteers, where do they come from?

Volunteers are one of the most valuable assets ACS enjoys. They come from all walks of life, religious, ethnic and professional backgrounds, working together, all with the common goal of serving the less fortunate. Without them, we would cease to exist!
