serving during covid-19

When a pandemic strikes the nation, we have a chance to respond. In a time of remote offices, kids in the house, and lack of human contact, we can help others. So, let’s do it. Below are some of the partner organizations Ad Astra is working to support. Check out ways you can help, too. 

Note: All donations to Freedom Fire and Heart to Heart Internatioanl Care Kits will be matched by Ad Astra if they include "Ad Astra Donation Match" in the donation comment section.

Meals for Kids

Kids in low-income areas depend on schools to provide breakfast and lunch. In times of cancellations, families need meals.

In response to COVID-19, Freedom Fire is distributing care packages to children and families living around federal housing. Similar care packages are also being distributed to the homeless. They are asking for community help in gathering supplies or donating to care package creation. If you would like to donate, please visit their website.
