Making a Difference in the CSRA

Community Outreach

Community Ownership is what we value. We desire to continue to provide programs, services, and events that makes a positive impact in our community.

Community Leaders Together

There are many first responders and community leaders joining efforts to develop and enhance our community.

Interacting With Our Community

We reach the community by being in our community. We want individuals to know that we are assessable and desire to have more opportunities to interact, listen, and respond to issues within our community.

First Responders' Breakfast

Showing appreciation for those who serve the community around us is one of many initiatives that we support. This also gives us the opportunity to form practical solutions to support efforts assisting individuals around us.

What peoples say about us

"I’ve attended the Annual Community Educators’ and First Responders’ Breakfast for the past four years. It’s a date I mark on my calendar before I receive the invitation. Many ministries and organizations sponsor back-to-school events, but this is the only one that I know of that honors educators and first responders. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement, it makes a difference. Please don’t ever stop. On behalf of the Marshall and other first responders, thank you."

"ACOC, since its conception, has been influential in supporting the students of Richmond County, specifically when I was the principal of Jenkins White Elementary School. They worked diligently to form a connection with the families of Dogwood Terrace Community. They also supported the students by attending celebration days and tutoring weekly for our 2nd graders. We would not have been as successful in building school, home, and church relationships without ACOC, Pastor Peoples, Pastor Moore, Pastor Booker, and all of their associates."
