“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: FOOD & CLOTHING PROGRAMS: Although Aslan's programs primarily target the needs of children, we also provide a limited number of services for the parents of our children. With food donations and financial gifts from local churches and from CROP Walk, Aslan also maintains an emergency pantry to provide food for the families of our children. At Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas we provide sumptuous baskets filled with hams, turkeys and all the trimmings to insure our families are blessed during these holiday seasons. Over Christmas, Aslan provides assistance to many of our most needy families through our adopt-a-family program. Additionally, local churches adopt each Aslan youngster and provide approximately $50 per child of special gifts at Christmas.In Kind Donations and Grants Received Totaling : $86,558Time $ 34,123Space $ 1,500 Goods $ 50,935FOUNDED IN 1975, ASLAN CONTINUES TO LEAD THE FIELD IN SERVICES TO URBAN, DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN.
