General Assistance
Anthem Giving Circle
Anthem Giving Circle (AGC) is a group of women who pool their time, talents, and resources in order to have a direct impact on the local community. Funds raised from our annual Purses for a Purpose event allow AGC to focus on assisting families in need by helping to pay for medical expenses, rent, or other bills. We support the local elementary and secondary schools by providing gift cards as well as sponsoring scholarships for high school seniors. Each year, AGC collects hundreds of bras to be given to the women’s shelter. The members of Anthem Giving Circle enjoy working together to serve others!
