“The staff at AIFRC have helped me and my family so much. The staff, other seniors, and other families are like a big family. We can’t wait for the center to reopen so we can all enjoy each other’s company… and play bingo!”
JULIE LOPEZ
Senior from our AIFRC
“Having the clinic come to the center, especially during these times, was reassuring. The services and support that EMFRC offers means a lot to me and my family. It’s moral support and emotional relief for us and the community. In addition, there were creative ways to keep services going like the Karate Program’s virtual classes. These helped the youth stay engaged and connected. Also, CEAC members were able to meet through ZOOM so we can continue to help our community. The community is aware of the support that the center provides, it is crucial in these times.”

Community Champion Mom from our EMFRC
“We didn’t know what was going to happen. There was a time of uncertainty when COVID hit. Knowing that the community and I could access food from EMFRC was a huge relief. I am grateful, even before COVID, because we know we can always count on EMFRC.”
GABY RUIZ
Community Champion Mom from our EMFRC
“My husband and I would like to thank you all for all the support we have received from you. God has definitely put you all in our path. The Healthy Marriage Classes have been very valuable to us. The tools we receive help us communicate better and have more harmony as a couple. We have had the support from you all with groceries which has been extremely helpful during the pandemic. Thank you!”
