Aug. 15, 2023
The charitable organization plans to send resources and assistance to aftermarket industry families.

The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) announced its commitment to support affected families in the Lahaina fires in Hawaii.

As the wildfires continue to destroy much of the island displacing families and causing distress on industry partners, the AACF is providing much-needed resources and expertise to assist aftermarket industry families hit hardest by the event.

As stated in the press release, "The AACF's commitment to supporting aftermarket industry companies and their teammates' welfare is evident in their swift response to crises. With a focus on collaboration, the organization has established a dedicated relief fund to provide financial assistance to families grappling with the aftermath of the fires. This initiative not only addresses the immediate needs of these families but also underscores the AACF's dedication to recovery efforts."

Joel Ayres, Executive Director of AAC added, "During times of crisis, it is essential for the aftermarket industry to come together and support one another. We understand the challenges that these families are facing, and our goal is to offer them a helping hand, reminding them that they are not alone in this journey toward recovery."
