Why are you passionate about the Ada Jenkins Center? 

Whenever I think of the Ada Jenkins Center I am reminded of the quote "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".   The AJC assists their clients through education, health and human services providing them the tools and resources they need to strive towards independence or to overcome hurdles in their ability to do so.   

The center is an invaluable asset to our community benefitting all those who engage in their programs and community enrichment activities.
