ARAS projects and programs are lifelines to people around the world. Whether it is a terminal patient indistress or a homeless family in need of food and shelter, ARAS is there with volunteers, funding, and referrals to help and to heal. Over the years we have conducted personal-empowerment workshops,provided several thousand bikes for poor African villagers, and presented full wardrobes of clothes, books and groceries to thousands of struggling people and their families at our annual Harvest Festival.ARAS supports many other organization’s projects through volunteer assistance.
