CINCINNATI, Ohio – Woodforest Charitable Foundation contributes $10,000 to F.A.C.E. (For Aids Children Everywhere).

As the number of infected children grows, so will their needs.  Woodforest Charitable Foundation’s recent donation to F.A.C.E. will help support their program that assists and educates families and children with HIV/AIDS.

Over the past years, For Aids Children Everywhere has known many children with HIV/AIDS, each special and unique.  F.A.C.E. honors them: both those who have passed on and those whose struggle for survival continues.  These remarkable children, who have struggled with life and death, were able to find beauty in their painfully short, yet spirited, lives.  In their memory, F.A.C.E. commits itself to the battle against AIDS and HIV disease.

The goal of F.A.C.E. is to accommodate the entire family (caregiver and child) and to satisfy essential personal and emotional needs.  F.A.C.E. helps sustain these needs by providing items such as food, clothing and money for medicine and transportation.  “With your generous donation of $10,000, we cannot express in words everything Woodforest is going to make possible for our needy families,” said Kelly Chambers, President of F.A.C.E.  “Your donation will help our families know there are people out there who care about them.  The time and effort that your bank has given to help the needy families of F.A.C.E. touches not only our hearts but will do so much to lift the spirits of our families.”
